The Missouri State Treasurer's Office posted confidential MOScholars student data on its website for nearly a year. The data included students' names, their parents' email addresses, scholarship funding amounts, and the schools they attend. The office removed the records from its website after being notified by The Independent. The disclosure raises questions about how State Treasurer Vivek Malek's office is managing MOScholars, a program that receives $50 million in state funding. State Sen. Rick Brattin called the incident a 'massive oversight.' Senate Minority Leader Doug Beck said the treasurer's office is 'incompetent' in running the program.
