Boise State students pushing for more funding - Morgan Boydston, KTVB

While much of the focus of Boise State University during football season is on the Blue, there is effort under way among some students to make a big change. Their focus is on the Idaho Statehouse and with the legislators who decide the funding for higher education. You may recall, that took a big hit during the Recession - and still hasn't fully recovered. Josh Scholer, Associated Students of Boise State University (ASBSU) student lobbyist, has been working on their policy platform for a while - and now that it's in place, his focus is on the Legislature. For the first time, students are working alongside administration on fixing a big issue: the funding gap between BSU and University of Idaho and Idaho State University. http://www.ktvb.com/news/education/boise-state-students-pushing-for-more-higher-education-funding/339512666
