FOIA Request to Harding School of Theology Regarding Admission Records for 2024-25 School Year on December 12, 2024. As part of our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Volunteer State News have sent a request under the Tennessee Open Records Act, §10-7-503 et seq., to the Harding School of Theology.
The request specifically seeks a list of names of all students admitted to the school for the upcoming 2024-25 academic year. We have asked that this information be provided in an electronic format and include the following fields: Student Name, Home Zip/Hometown, and Graduated High School Name.
As a media organization, we are deeply involved in gathering and reporting news to the public. Access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These responsibilities include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional.
We will continue to update our readers as more information becomes available.
