FOIA Request to Oregon Health & Science University regarding State University Employee Compensation Data, FY 2025 on December 2, 2025.
A request for public records was sent to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) by Beaver State News. The request seeks detailed information about employee compensation for all individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2025. The data requested includes several specific fields: employee name, gender (if recorded), age or year of birth (if not exempt), date of birth (if not exempt or limited to month/year), employer name, title or position, hire date, compensation amount (including base pay and any additional pay), compensation type (such as salary, hourly, stipend, bonus), and employment type (full-time or part-time).
The request was made under the Oregon Public Records Law, §192.410 et seq., with a preference for receiving the information in electronic format. As a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, Beaver State News emphasizes the importance of access to public records in fulfilling its professional responsibilities. This includes holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency for the public.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating state and federal governmental agencies.

Located in Portland, Oregon, OHSU Hospital-Knight Cancer Institute was founded in 1997. Its current president is Dr. Brian Druker.
