FOIA Request to Nevada System of Higher Education regarding State Community College Employee Compensation Data, FY 2025 on December 4, 2025.
The Silver State Times has submitted a formal request for public records to the Nevada System of Higher Education. The request seeks detailed information about employee compensation for individuals employed by community colleges during Fiscal Year 2025. This request is made under the Nevada Open Records Act § 239 et seq., with a preference for receiving the data in electronic format.
The requested records include comprehensive data fields such as employee name, gender (if recorded), age or year of birth (if not exempt), date of birth (if not exempt or limited to month/year), college name, department, employer name, title or position, hire date, compensation amount (including base pay and any additional pay), compensation type (e.g., salary, hourly, stipend, bonus), and employment type (full-time or part-time).
As a media organization dedicated to providing thorough and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, the Silver State Times emphasizes the importance of access to public records. The organization aims to hold public institutions accountable and ensure transparency for the public. In line with these objectives, they have requested a fee waiver based on their role in disseminating information as a media professional.
Additionally, the requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit corporation that supports media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
