Green Steps Down After Seven Years | Boise News

After seven transformative years, University of Idaho President C. Scott Green announced his retirement effective June 30, leaving behind a legacy of resilience and growth. Returning to lead his alma mater in 2019, Green turned around the university’s finances, erased $40 million in losses, boosted enrollment to its second-largest freshman class, earned R1 research status, and completed a $500 million capital campaign—all while navigating the pandemic and the tragic loss of four students. Praised by state leaders including Governor Brad Little and Superintendent Debbie Critchfield for “conquering that storm,” Green’s leadership earned deep campus affection. The State Board of Education will now begin the search for his successor, expected to be smoother thanks to new legislation allowing more private deliberations. Green vows to remain fully committed until his final day, ensuring the university’s momentum continues for its next chapter.
