Boise State University's Blueprint for Social Justice - Law & Liberty
Boise State University (BSU) has been my academic home since 2000. The university has grown as the greater Boise area has grown: the area has been a wonderful place to live and work.
National trends in higher education come a little later to Idaho and, perhaps because it is a deep red state, they often come a little gentler too. BSU is making a concerted effort to catch up to the rest of the country and to get with the diversity program.
I learned the hard way that I had “mis-underestimated” BSU’s effort to build what Jonathan Haidt calls a Social Justice University (SJU). Just how much BSU had changed became evident when I published a series of reports and articles concerning feminism and its relation to transgenderism in 2017.
This experience forced me to take a step back to see what happened at my home institution and why. I found that, brick by brick, BSU was building a diversity infrastructure to dismantle its “deep red” environment.
Nooooooooo! This is awful! This is in my home town! Where I would retire except my LWJ won't let me!

"There's no Z in Boise" as the saying goes. It's BOY-cee, not BOY-zee.
Don't think I'm not looking at NZ. Unfortunately, it's a long way for the kids (and we hope grandkids) to travel.

Is it pronounced Boyz, Boyz-eh, Boysssss, ...?
Anyway, retire to Nelson on the South Island of NZ, a most desirable spot. Or Napier on the North Island.
