FOIA Request to College of Southern Idaho regarding Public University FY 2024 Employee Salaries on December 5, 2025.
A request for information has been submitted to the College of Southern Idaho under the Idaho Public Records Act § 74-101 et seq. The request seeks detailed records of employee compensation for all individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2024. This period is generally understood to span from September 2024 through July 2025, though adjustments may be made based on the university’s specific fiscal year definitions.
The requested records should include a variety of data fields, such as Fiscal Year, Employee Name, Gender (if recorded), Age or Year of Birth (if not exempt), Date of Birth (if not exempt or limited to month/year), Employer Name, Title or Position, Department, Hire Date, Compensation Amount (including base pay and any additional pay), Compensation Type (e.g., salary, hourly, stipend, bonus), and Employment Type (full-time or part-time).
The requester has indicated an understanding that not all fields may be present in every record but asks for all responsive records regardless. If certain parts of a record are deemed exempt from disclosure, it is requested that non-exempt portions be provided in redacted form rather than withheld entirely.
This request comes from Gem State Wire, a media organization dedicated to covering local governmental affairs comprehensively and accurately. The organization emphasizes its role in holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency. As such, they have requested a fee waiver due to their status as a media entity.
The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization assisting media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
