No, there are definitely FOIA laws that apply to public universities. The post was calling out UIUC and this is their web page about it [1]

But I am really curious about the argument against the requested survey data. The poster linked to his web page which specifically lists UIUC as being exemplar and providing data without even the need for a formal FOIA request.

With the data I’d be able to prove a degree isn’t worth it. Which was what I was planning on making - enter your degree, high school gpa, we could predict the likely outcome.

I’m sure they knew that lol

I requested: country of origin, gender, degree, gpa, salary range, field of work and a couple other fields I forget now.
