FOIA Request to Massachusetts Maritime Academy regarding public university FY 2024 employee salaries on December 5, 2025.
A request has been submitted by Bay State News under the Massachusetts Public Records Act for records related to employee compensation at Massachusetts Maritime Academy for Fiscal Year 2024. The request was sent on December 5, 2025, and seeks comprehensive data in electronic format.
The requested records include detailed information about employees of the University during the specified fiscal year. The information sought encompasses a variety of data fields such as fiscal year, employee name, gender, 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 additional pay), compensation type (e.g., salary, hourly, stipend, bonus), and employment type (full-time or part-time).
Bay State News acknowledges that some data fields may not be present in every record and requests that all responsive records be produced regardless of field presence. If any portion of a record is deemed exempt from disclosure, they request that non-exempt portions be released in redacted form rather than withheld entirely.
As a media organization committed to transparency and accountability in public institutions, Bay State News emphasizes its role in disseminating information to the public. They also seek a fee waiver for this request based on their status as a media professional entity.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, which aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws. More details about this coalition can be found at https://stopsecrecy.org/about/.
