FOIA Request to Schoolcraft College regarding recent course syllabi on August 6, 2025.

A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to Schoolcraft College by NW Wayne News on August 6, 2025. 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 from all departments, schools, and colleges within the institution, regardless of whether the courses were conducted in-person, online, or through hybrid formats.

The request specifically asks for any relevant metadata associated with these syllabi. This includes details such as the course title and number, instructor name, department or academic unit, and the format in which the course was delivered (online/in-person/hybrid).

As part of their professional duties in gathering and reporting news to the public, NW Wayne News emphasizes the importance of accessing public records to ensure transparency and accountability within public institutions.
