FOIA Request to Castleton University regarding public university FY 2024 employee salaries on December 5, 2025.
A request for information under the Vermont Public Records Law has been submitted to Castleton University by Green Mountain Times. The request seeks detailed records of employee compensation for all individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2024. This fiscal year is typically defined as spanning from September 2024 through July 2025, although the request allows for variations in the university’s fiscal calendar.
The requested data includes several specific fields: fiscal year, employee name, gender (if recorded), age or year of birth (if not exempt), date of birth (if not exempt or limited to month/year), employer name, title or position, department, hire date, compensation amount (including base pay and any additional pay), compensation type (such as salary, hourly wage, stipend, or bonus), and employment type (full-time or part-time).
Green Mountain Times has emphasized that they seek these records in electronic format and understand that not all fields may be present in every record. They have requested that any non-exempt portions of records be released in redacted form if necessary.
The request also notes a desire for a fee waiver based on their role as a media organization committed to gathering and reporting news to the public. The Green Mountain Times is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting transparency through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
