A request has been made under the Idaho Public Records Act by Gem State Wire, a media organization focused on local governmental affairs. The request seeks comprehensive records related to employee compensation at Lewis-Clark State College for Fiscal Year 2025.
The requested records include detailed information about each university employee, such as their 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, hire date, and compensation details.
