FOIA Request to Keene State College regarding Public University FY 2024 Employee Salaries on December 5, 2025.
A request for information under the Right to Know Law (RSA. 91-A) has been submitted by SW New Hampshire News to Keene State College. The request seeks detailed records of employee compensation for all individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2024. This fiscal year is generally defined as spanning from September 2024 through July 2025, though the request acknowledges that the university may have different fiscal-year boundaries and asks for clarification if so.
The specific data fields requested include: Fiscal Year, Employee Name, Employee Gender (if recorded), Employee Age or Year of Birth (if not exempt), Employee Date of Birth (if not exempt or limited to month/year), Employer Name, Employee Title or Position, Employee Department, Employee Hire Date, Employee Compensation Amount (including base pay and any additional pay), Employee Compensation Type (such as salary, hourly, stipend, bonus), and Employment Type (full-time or part-time).
The request notes that not all fields may be present in every record but asks for all responsive records regardless of completeness. It also requests that any exempt portions of records be redacted rather than withheld entirely.
