A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Northern Arizona University Athletics regarding the disclosure of employee salaries for the year 2023. The request was made on November 15, 2024.
As a part of our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Coconino News have requested specific records under the Arizona Public Records Law § 39.101 et seq. We have asked for these records in an electronic format for ease of analysis and dissemination.
The information requested includes basic employee details such as first name, last name, institution name, position held, and department. Additionally, we have also asked for financial data including pay rate and year-to-date gross pay.
Our role as a media organization is not just to report news but also to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public. Access to public records such as these is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities.
We believe that as media professionals involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we are eligible for a fee waiver. We will continue to keep you updated on this matter and any other relevant developments in local government affairs.
