A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to Saint Louis Community College on October 22, 2025, seeking specific details about the members of the University's governing board or board of trustees. The request, made under the Missouri Sunshine Law § 610.023 et seq., was sent by North STL News, a media organization focused on local governmental affairs.

The requested records include a current list of board members with their full names, titles or positions, and terms of service. Additionally, the request seeks any official headshots or photographs maintained by the University for use in publications or directories.
