Cornhusker State News has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to Chadron State College seeking access to course syllabi for all undergraduate and graduate courses offered during the Spring 2025 semester. The request was made under the Nebraska Public Records Law § 84-712 et seq., with a preference for receiving the information in electronic format.

The request specifically asks for a comprehensive list of syllabi from all departments, schools, and colleges within Chadron State College. This includes courses delivered in-person, online, or through hybrid formats. Additionally, Cornhusker State News has requested metadata associated with each course syllabus, such as the course title and number, instructor name, department or academic unit, and the course delivery format.

As a media organization dedicated to providing thorough news coverage on local governmental affairs, Cornhusker State News emphasizes its role in holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency. In line with this mission, they have requested a fee waiver based on their status as a media professional.

The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that supports media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through FOIA requests.
