FOIA Request to Eastern Virginia Medical School regarding Virginia Public University Salaries FY2025 on January 14, 2026.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by Old Dominion News to the Eastern Virginia Medical School. The request seeks detailed records of employee compensation for all individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2025. This request is made under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, §2.2-3704 et seq., and a preference for receiving the information in electronic format has been expressed.
The specific data fields requested include employee name, gender (if recorded), age or year of birth (if not exempt), date of birth (if not exempt or limited to month/year), university name, department, employer name, title or position, hire date, compensation amount (base pay and any additional pay), compensation type (e.g., salary, hourly, stipend, bonus), and employment type (full-time or part-time).
Old Dominion News emphasizes that access to these public records is crucial for fulfilling its role in gathering and reporting news to the public. As a media organization committed to transparency and accountability in governmental affairs, it believes it qualifies for a fee waiver as a media professional.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting media companies and advocacy groups in investigating state and federal governmental agencies through FOIA requests.
