State board rejects U of I proposal for Boise law school

The Idaho State Board of Education rebuffed the University of Idaho’s proposal to build a full branch of its law school in Boise at a meeting in Pocatello earlier today.

The board voted 6-2 to allow the law school to expand a semester-long program in Boise for third-year students to a full year of coursework, said board spokesman Mark Browning. It declined to approve the university’s in-depth plan to have a “two-location” law school with 250 students in both Moscow and Boise. The expansion would have eventually cost about $6 million per year, with $3.4 million coming from legislative appropriations and the rest from donations, fees and grants.
