The University of Idaho to Buy the School Campus in McCall

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The University of Idaho won unanimous approval for its plan to buy the school's campus in McCall after the state Land Board boosted its annual rent five-fold. The Idaho Board of Education voted yesterday morning to back the Moscow-based school's acquisition. The land on the shore of Payette Lake is currently part of Idaho's endowment, but has been leased by the University of Idaho for the last six decades.
