A quick definition of Freedom of Information Act:

Freedom of Information Act: A law that says the government has to share information with the public. This law helps people learn more about what the government is doing and makes sure the government is responsible for its actions. We can call it FOIA for short.

A more thorough explanation:

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a federal law that requires government agencies to disclose documents and information to the public upon request. The purpose of the law is to promote transparency and accountability in government.

For example, if a journalist wants to obtain information about a government program, they can file a FOIA request to the relevant agency. The agency is then required to provide the requested information, unless it falls under certain exemptions.

Another example is a citizen who wants to know how their tax dollars are being spent. They can file a FOIA request to obtain documents related to government spending.

Overall, the FOIA is an important tool for ensuring that the government is open and accountable to the public.

Anyone know how long it takes to get aid package after getting admitted to UChicago or Northwestern?
I’d ask in the t14 chat bc lol it may be a bit until you can get someone who can answer that question here

@syddak: Oof tough spot. Congrats on the As. Did either indicate either via email/mail that they would be following up with aid, and if so, did they provide a time frame? It may be acceptable to email them and indicate seat deposits are fast approaching and you are curious if you can expect further info (aid) from the school to aid u in ur decision..
