BRONCO WOMENS BASKETBALL
Bronco Women Eliminated from NCAA Tournament
For tournament-tested George Washington, there was never a doubt, although pesky Boise State had the Colonials squirming a bit at the finish. Jessica Adair dominated the inside from the opening tip, and fifth-seeded George Washington scored the first 19 points on its way to a 76-67 victory over 12th-seeded Boise State on Saturday in a first-round game of the Dallas Regional. The Colonials led 44-25 at halftime, and outscored the Broncos 12-3 for a 59-32 lead with a little under 13 minutes remaining. It was 67-41 before Boise State used a barrage of 3-pointers to outscore George Washington 26-9 for the final nine-point margin.
ON OUR CAMPUS
University Response to Promotional Flyer by Student Organization
Boise State issued the following statement after flyers distributed last week by the BSU College Republicans student group — which contained words considered by some to be insensitive and in poor taste— created a controversy. The group was promoting a speech about illegal immigration:
Although it falls within the boundaries of free speech, the College Republicans event flyer shows poor taste and judgment. This type of statement is unacceptable and inappropriate in any context. We have addressed this matter through the Office of Student Affairs by requesting that the College Republicans revise the flyers.
While campus community members enjoy the same rights and freedoms that all U.S. citizens enjoy, membership also includes taking personal responsibility for one’s own conduct, behavior and speech. Ultimately, the students responsible for the flyer may be subject to our student judicial process and will have to answer to their peers.
As an institution dedicated to educating students to be responsible citizens, Boise State strives to provide a culture of civility and success where all feel safe and free from discrimination, harassment, threats or intimidation. We plan to use this situation as an educational opportunity and example of the importance of fostering civility and respect on campus.
