Through the Idaho Policy Forum, The College of Idaho invites the Idaho public to get informed, listen to each other, and deliberate about the most important issues facing the nation and the State of Idaho.
Legislators, academics and leaders in our community come together in these forums and confront issues such as women’s reproductive rights, the state of education, tax and housing policies, climate change and green energy and more. Open and civil discourse are the foundation of our forums. For those unable to attend in person, we also offer livestreaming options.
An Overview of Past Forums
The Idaho Policy Forum gathered to hear members of the press deconstruct the election and weigh in on the upcoming legislative session; Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane detail what the data says about Idaho and the nation; Idaho Superintendent of Public Instruction Debbie Critchfield on what’s next for Idaho public schools; and elected Republican senators and representatives espouse upon the state of the Republic Party in Idaho.
