Clark Corbin | 07/19/2019

Welcome to episode 170 of the Extra Credit podcast.

This week we sort through the ongoing dispute between Republican Idaho lawmakers and Boise State University over diversity and inclusivity initiatives. At this point, BSU President Marlene Tromp, all of the Legislature’s Democrats and House Minority Leader Mat Erpelding have all weighed in.

Plus, get to know a little bit more about Coby Dennis, the new superintendent of the Boise School District.

Be sure to check back next Friday for another new episode of Extra Credit.
