University of Idaho President Duane Nellis said, "Today we are publicly releasing university records pertaining to the tragedy surrounding the death of Katy Benoit. In doing so we're honoring the commitment to transparency that I made personally to the people of Idaho and the family of Katy Benoit as well as the University of Idaho's commitment to full disclosure. I'm also announcing policy and procedural changes that are now under way. Today's release includes the university's record of Ernesto Bustamante's employment at the University of Idaho. This includes his evaluations by students and superiors, documents of the circumstances that led to his separation from the university, and additional detail on the incident timeline that we released earlier."
