FOIA Request to Atlanta Metropolitan State College regarding recent course syllabi on August 6, 2025.
A request was submitted by ATL Standard, a media organization, under the Georgia Open Records Act for access to records from Atlanta Metropolitan State College. The request specifically seeks a complete 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 offered in-person, online, or in hybrid formats.
The requested information also includes relevant metadata such as course title and number, instructor name, department or academic unit, and course delivery format (online/in-person/hybrid). The requester has emphasized the importance of this information for their role in gathering and reporting news to the public. As a member of the media involved in disseminating information and holding public institutions accountable, ATL Standard is seeking a fee waiver due to their professional responsibilities.
