FOIA Request to Oregon Health & Science University regarding public university FY 2024 employee salaries on December 5, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by Beaver State News to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) on December 5, 2025. The request seeks comprehensive records related to employee compensation for individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2024. This inquiry is made under the Oregon Public Records Law, §192.410 et seq., with a preference for receiving the information in electronic format.
The specific data fields requested include fiscal year, employee name, gender, age or year of birth, date of birth, employer name, title or position, department, hire date, compensation amount (including base pay and any additional pay), compensation type (such as salary or hourly), and employment type (full-time or part-time). The request emphasizes that if any portion of a record is deemed exempt from disclosure, all non-exempt portions should be released in redacted form rather than withheld entirely.
Beaver State News has requested a fee waiver based on its role as a media organization committed to transparency and accountability in public institutions. The news outlet is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a Missouri-based non-profit organization dedicated to investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
Located in Portland, Oregon, OHSU Hospital-Knight Cancer Institute was founded in 1997. Its current president is Dr. Brian Druker.
We look forward to receiving this information in an electronic format as it will greatly aid in our reporting efforts. As always, we remain open for any questions or clarifications regarding this request.
