Boise State University Responds to Voters' Approval of
Community College Ballot Initiative
The following statements are from Boise State University President Bob
Kustra in regard to yesterday’s successful passage of the community college
ballot initiative by Ada and Canyon county voters:
On the outcome:
“We couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of the community college vote.
The citizens of the Treasure Valley deserve as many opportunities for
educational services as possible, and the creation of a community college
district here will add more affordable and accessible options for students
of all ages, backgrounds and needs.”
On the university’s offer to provide the Boise State West campus as the
site of the community college and to eventually transfer the operations of
the Selland College of Applied Technology to the Nampa site:
“Boise State’s role in the start-up of the community college is significant,
and we are fully committed to that goal. Our involvement and interest in
transitioning existing programs, facilities and resources in the Selland
College to a new community college will reduce the initial costs
considerably and expedite its establishment.”
