Sebaaly resigns from North Idaho College

COEUR d’ALENE — North Idaho College wrestling coach and former interim president Mike Sebaaly has resigned, chief communications officer Laura Rumpler confirmed Wednesday.

Sebaaly was placed on administrative leave Sept. 1 for an undetermined period of time. NIC declined to comment on the reason for the leave, as it was a personnel matter.

Sebaaly did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday.

In 2019, Sebaaly replaced Pat Whitcomb as the school’s wrestling coach.

He was chosen to serve as the college’s interim president in October 2021, after the Board of Trustees fired former President Rick MacLennan without cause.

Nick Swayne, the college’s new permanent president, replaced Sebaaly Aug. 1.

This is a developing story.
