Idaho Republicans' attacks on Boise State University will only hurt state in the end
A new report from ProPublica and the Chronicle of Higher Education raises serious alarms about the pressures being placed on Boise State University from the far right wing of the Idaho Republican Party.
The story documents the battle that’s been going on now for close to three years, just before Boise State President Marlene Tromp took office.
It lays out the publicly known and highly publicized squabbles over diversity, equity and inclusion efforts that have transpired over the past three years, going back to the first harbinger in 2019 over a memo detailing the university’s diversity efforts written by interim president Martin Schimpf, before Tromp even stepped foot in office.
The article is appropriately titled “The Other Cancel Culture, How a Public University Is Bowing to a Conservative Crusade.”
