Faculty and Staff Feel Student's Pain BOISE (idaho) - Fate seems to be looming for college students, teachers, administrators, and anyone else involved in higher education in Idaho.

The other date with destiny scheduled for higher ed is the first week in April when the State Board of Education approves fee increases for colleges and universities.

As Boise State Radio's Adam Cotterell reports, that is creating stress at every level of the university. © Copyright 2012, idaho
