Nick: So Much For That ‘Promise’

Nick Adams: Hey DFO: I really hope you put Betsy’s article on the State slashing scholarships out front tomorrow. ( Eye On Boise article here .) Otter’s “holdbacks” with higher ed means that 9,000 students will lose 20% of their scholarship. Ironically, the name of the fund is the “Promise” Scholarship. Meanwhile, Otter and his cronies fly around in state-owned planes compliments of the mining industry. Jesus, Mary and bald-headed Joseph!

Question: Do you think the Promise Scholarship program needs to accept cuts, as most other programs are? Or is this an indication that the Otter administration isn’t committed to higher ed?
