FOIA Request to Madison Area Technical College regarding University Board Member Information on October 22, 2025.
A request has been made to Madison Area Technical College under the Wisconsin Open Records Law for information concerning the members of the University’s governing board or board of trustees. The request seeks a current list of board members, including their full names, titles or positions, and terms of service. Additionally, it asks for any official headshots or photographs maintained by the University for use in official publications or on its website. The request also includes any official biographies or biographical summaries prepared by the University for press releases, directories, or public profiles.
The request was submitted by a representative from Madison Reporter, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive news coverage on local governmental affairs. As part of their role in gathering and reporting news to the public, they emphasize the importance of access to public records in holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency. The requester has also noted their affiliation with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
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.
