FOIA Request to Shasta College regarding recent course syllabi on August 6, 2025.
A request was submitted to Shasta College seeking access to records under the California Public Records Act. The request, sent by a representative of Redding Today, aims to obtain a complete list of course syllabi for all undergraduate and graduate courses offered during the Spring 2025 semester. This includes syllabi for courses across all departments, schools, and colleges, regardless of whether they were conducted in-person, online, or in hybrid formats.
The requested information encompasses several key elements: the course title and number, instructor name, department or academic unit, and the course delivery format (online/in-person/hybrid). The request emphasizes the importance of accessing these public records as part of the media’s role in ensuring transparency and accountability within public institutions. Additionally, a fee waiver is sought based on the requestor’s status as a media professional.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, an organization dedicated to assisting media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws. More information about this organization can be found at this link.
