[Vision2020] Amendment to State Constitution - SRJ 101

[Wayne Price]

Tom,

It's actually very simple.

1) The University of Idaho, baring a change to the State Constitution,  
cannot charge tuition, but they want to be like all of the other state  
schools and charge tuition.
2) The State of Idaho has passed a state law, Title 65 giving  
veterans  hiring preference.
3) The University of Idaho, because of it's unusual constitutionality  
refuses to comply with Title 65, yet wants to be "equal" with the  
other 4 year school that MUST comply with Title 65.

Conclusion, IF the University of Idaho wants to be like all of the  
other 4 year schools and charge tuition, which currently the State  
Constitution says they can't,
then they need to comply with all of the other state laws or retain  
it's special immune status.  Can't have it both ways.  Either be  
"special" via the state constitution or be like the others and
comply with state law.

Does that make sense to you?
