Much of our reporting about the University of Akron’s budget cuts, outsourcing and strategic planning has come via public records requests. It only makes sense to post these online in one central location for public viewing. Some of these were disclosed by the university or state officials. Some are readily available online but collected here for easy access. There are several pending requests that I’ll add as I receive them and am able to process through them.
