Details: To Whom It May Concern,
Pursuant to the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act (Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 1-200 et seq.), I am requesting access to records concerning student post-graduation outcomes and employment data collected by the University of Connecticut between January 1, 2020 and April 30, 2025.
Specifically, I am requesting:
All internal reports, surveys, dashboards, or raw data tracking:
Employment rates of graduates within 6 months and 1 year of graduation
Average and median salaries by major or program
Job placement within field of study vs. unrelated employment
Graduate school admissions and outcomes
Underemployment or unemployment rates by academic program
Methodologies used to collect and report these metrics (e.g., self-reported surveys, third-party data, NACE standards, etc.)
Any materials, presentations, or internal communications between UConn administration, the Office of Institutional Research, Career Services, or external marketing vendors that reference:
How student outcomes data is reported to prospective students, families, donors, or the public
Decisions related to suppressing, revising, or selectively publishing certain outcome metrics
Please provide these records in digital format. If any portion of this request is denied or redacted, please cite the relevant exemption under Connecticut law and describe the appeal process.
Given the strong public interest in the return on investment of higher education and UConn’s role as a public institution, I respectfully request a waiver of any associated fees.
Thank you for your attention to this request. I look forward to your response within the statutory timeframe.
