Episode 91: The University of Phoenix interview
If the University of Idaho acquires the University of Phoenix, what does the $685 million deal get the U of I?
And what’s the financial risk?
In this edition of the Kevin Richert Podcast, Phoenix President Chris Lynne and provost and chief financial officer John Woods talk about the future — and the for-profit online university’s checkered past. (Click here to read our story from the interview.)
Favorite Teachers series
Who’s your favorite teacher? Nearly everyone has an answer to that question, because every year, and in every generation, teachers make a lifelong impact.
Somewhere in Idaho, even as you read this, an English teacher is helping a student feel valued when no one else can. A science teacher is stoking the curiosity of a future biologist. A choir teacher is encouraging a student to use their voice proudly, even when silence seems safer.
Our new, ongoing series will feature Idaho’s favorite teachers.
If you went to school in Idaho and have a teacher you’d like us to recognize, whether still in the classroom or retired, contact editor Jennifer Swindell, [email protected]. We’re looking forward to sharing your stories.
