ANALYSIS: COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES FACE AN UNPREDICTABLE LEGISLATIVE SESSION - Kevin Richert, ID Ed News

It’s all part of a bigger cost-cutting plan from Gov. Brad Little, affecting nearly all state agencies, but not K-12. For Boise State University and the University of Idaho, the Little spending order translates to about $1 million in cuts this year, $2 million the next year.
