Our own private Boise State - Arbiter Editorial

Change is a word kicked around more than a mud-soaked hackey sac at a hippy convention. It’s a pop culture, kitsch-drenched fumble of a word at this point. But what happens when Boise State University President Bob Kustra invokes “change?” In his State of the University Address Wednesday, Kustra hinted that change could mean Boise State becoming a private university. The Arbiter supports the idea of a privately owned and operated Boise State. Because of budget constraints and bureaucratic quagmires, Kustra’s motivation to cut the state from the university’s financial endeavors is simple to understand.
