FOIA Request to Wallace Community College-Selma regarding recent course syllabi on August 6, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by WC Alabama News to Wallace Community College-Selma. The request seeks access to a comprehensive 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 conducted in-person, online, or in hybrid formats.
The request specifically asks for additional metadata associated with each course syllabus. This metadata includes the course title and number, instructor name, department or academic unit, and the delivery format of the course (online/in-person/hybrid).
The request emphasizes the role of WC Alabama News in gathering and reporting news to the public. As a media organization committed to transparency and accountability, access to such public records is deemed essential for fulfilling their professional responsibilities. The requester also highlights their affiliation with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, an organization that aids media companies in investigating governmental agencies using FOIA laws.
WC Alabama News has requested that this information be provided in electronic format and has applied for a fee waiver due to their status as a media professional.
