A proposal to expand community colleges in Idaho could mean millions in lost income to Idaho State University, new President Arthur Vailas said Tuesday in his first address to state lawmakers.

If the state builds new community colleges or expands existing technical colleges such as EITC into community colleges as proposed, Vailas asked the committee to hold ISU harmless by allocating funds for a few years to offset declining enrollment.
