Boise State President Marlene Tromp made the announcement Thursday at a State of the University address hosted by the Boise Metro Chamber. “Given this tumultuous year we’ve faced, where we’ve heard people say maybe universities don’t have the balance we need, we are launching the Institute for Advancing American Values,” Tromp said. “American values are freedom of speech, (the) free exchange of ideas. We invite people to learn and grow. We are going to model a healthy dialogue on our campus between all those voices for the benefit of our state.”
