As Chair of the department it is my pleasure to welcome you to this year’s edition of the Pre- cambrian Basement. There is a lot of great stuff in here for you to read: updates from alumni and faculty, stories from students, and other goings on in the department. Therefore I’ll keep you just long enough to mention a few highlights and to offer a few thanks. On the faculty side of things, this year saw another member of the department receive an award from the National Science Foundation. This time it was Paul, and strangely enough his research will require extensive travel to Far Away Exotic Plac- es. Christine took full advantage of her sabbatical Banff National Park, from Regionals 2011.

  • Social Justice Ideology in Idaho Higher Education
    BOISE STATE Social justice ideology in Idaho higher education By Dr. Scott Yenor & Anna K. Miller December 2020 “The line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being.” Alexander Solzhenitsyn TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Summary 1 Recommendations for Reform 2 Social Justice Ideology in Idaho Higher Education 4 SECTION 1 Administration Promotes Social Justice Education 7 How it Happened 8 Deans and Leadership 10 Social Justice Policies at Boise State 12 Inclusive Excellence Student Council 14 SECTION 2 Curriculum and Student Experience 17 General Education Map 18 Department Map 20 Writing Center 22 Social Justice Departments Highlighted 24 Residence Halls 27 Conclusion 29 About the Authors 30 Works Cited 31 “There is the moral dualism that sees good and evil as instincts within us between which we must choose. But there is also what I will call pathological dualism that sees humanity itself as radically… divided into the unimpeachably good and the irredeemably bad. You are either one or the other.” – Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks Social Justice Ideology in Idaho Higher Education 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Social justice education poses a threat to education in America and to the American way of life. Social justice education divides the world into aggrieved minorities and oppressive majorities. Wherever it is practiced, it compromises the achievement of truth, the free exchange of ideas, and the aspiration for assimilating people into the great American melting pot. It cultivates anger and resentment among the supposedly aggrieved, while undermining the stability and mutual toleration that contributes to individual happiness and good citizenship. Universities are slowly building up an apparatus where social justice ideology is displacing education toward professions and general education.

As a contributor and colleague, I feel a sense of personal responsibility for the programming and services we provide to the community. In this report, we’ll share many of the highlights of Boise State Public Radio’s service in 2016 that have resulted from your investment. We serve 100,000 weekly listeners with our news, classical, and variety programming. Our network of 15 stations reaches more than one million residents of Idaho. Our radio signals are heard in urban office buildings, in rural homes, and along the highways and byways of our beautiful state.

Along with our partners at NPR, the BBC, and elsewhere, we take seriously our role in strengthening democracy by providing open access to knowledge and information - and by presenting it with civility and integrity.
