For purposes of public access to records of the Board of Regents and institutions under its control, except such records as are deemed confidential, secret, or privileged under law, the term, records, means:
(1)Records, documents, and instruments that are required to be kept or preserved under law;
(2)Any rules adopted pursuant to the provisions of chapter 1-26 , together with all materials, statements, and memoranda received by the board at hearings on such proposed rules;
(3)Any documents and materials received and written decisions or rulings issued by the board in the course of contested case proceedings that, pursuant to § 1-26-21 , constitute the record of a contested case;
(4)Agenda, together with attached materials, and minutes of official meetings of the board, except for items properly considered in executive session;
(5)Official statements of board or institutional policy as compiled in policy manuals, handbooks, catalogues or comparable documents adopted by the board or the regental institutions for the internal management of the board or regental institutions;
(6)Collective bargaining agreements; joint powers agreements; articulation agreements; memoranda of understanding and comparable documents; approved contracts for the erection of buildings, the purchase of lands, materials and supplies, or service other than individual employment contract. However, if a contract provides for confidentiality to protect intellectual property that is not yet in the public domain, those portions of the contract that disclose the subject matter or the terms relating to the control or disposition of intellectual properties covered by the contract, are not public records; and
(7)Intellectual property that is in the public domain.
