FOIA Request to University of Arkansas at Little Rock regarding recent course syllabi on August 6, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock by Pulaski Times. The request seeks access to a complete list of course syllabi for all undergraduate and graduate courses offered during the Spring 2025 academic semester. This includes syllabi for courses across all departments, schools, and colleges, regardless of whether they were offered in-person, online, or in hybrid formats.
The request specifically asks for any relevant metadata associated with the syllabi. This includes details such as the course title and number, instructor name, department or academic unit, and the course delivery format (online/in-person/hybrid). The information is requested in an electronic format to facilitate ease of access and analysis.
Pulaski Times emphasizes its role as a media organization committed to providing comprehensive news coverage on local governmental affairs. The requestor identifies as a member of The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, which supports media companies and public advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through FOIA requests. More information about this coalition can be found on their website: https://stopsecrecy.org/about/.
We look forward to receiving this information in an electronic format as it will greatly aid in our reporting efforts. As always, we remain open for any questions or clarifications regarding this request.
