Five of Idaho’s universities and community colleges have spent more than $1.5 million to beef up campus security because of the concealed-weapons-on-campus law approved last year, the Idaho Statesman reports, and the schools expect total costs to top $3.7 million for the year. They sought additional funding this winter to offset their costs in the current budget year, which began July 1. But Gov. Butch Otter did not recommend the funding; now the schools likely will have to absorb the costs within their existing budgets. The schools are BSU, ISU, U of I, CWI and NIC/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise. More here.
