Higher education budget cuts heat to Senate Idaho House moves to eliminate budgets in four-year universities - Sierra Pesnell, UI Argonaut

 Idaho House of Representatives passed HB387 Monday, the higher education budget, potentially affecting the funding for the University of Idaho, Idaho State University and Boise State University. Legislative members from District 5 voiced their discontent with the outcome from the House.  District 5 Rep. Caroline Nilsson Troy, a Republican from Genesee, takes issue with HB387. Troy was disappointed when discussion on potentially taking the bill off the floor and cutting more of the budget was introduced. Although, additional cuts were not made, keeping the planned $2.5 million. The bill passed the house 49-20 with Troy reluctantly voting in favor of it.
