FOIA Request to Colorado Mountain College regarding University Board Member Information on October 22, 2025.
A request for public records was sent to Colorado Mountain College by Centennial State News, a media organization focused on local governmental affairs. The request, made under the Colorado Open Records Act § 24-72-201 et seq., seeks several specific documents related to the University’s governing board or board of trustees.
The requested records include a current list of members of the University’s governing board or board of trustees. This list should detail each member’s full name, title or position, and term of service. Additionally, the request asks for any official headshots, portraits, or photographs maintained by the University for use in official publications, directories, or on its website. Lastly, it seeks any official biographies or biographical summaries prepared or maintained by the University that are used for press releases, board directories, or public profiles.
The request emphasizes the importance of access to public records for media professionals in fulfilling their responsibilities to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency. As such, Centennial State News has requested a fee waiver due to its role in disseminating information to the public.
The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that assists media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
