BOISE -- Boise State University and the Basque government are teaming up to help promote the Basque language and culture.
An agreement signed today includes a five-year financial commitment from the Basque government for BSU's Basque Studies program.
"In short, our goal is, in five years, in 2015, for Boise State to be the leading teaching institution of Basque studies in the world," said BSU Provost Sona Andrews.
At the signing ceremony, Basque President Patxi Lopez called the Basque culture a "universal wealth."
