NIC: Shows KCRCC-endorsed candidates are unqualified

| May 10, 2023 1:00 AM

Time to summarize for those following NIC’s struggle to survive the ongoing assault by its own chaos creating board members.

The radical majority of the North Idaho College Board of Trustees has made huge mistakes; jeopardizing essential accreditation, losing millions of dollars, losing students, losing valued employees and polluting NIC’s stellar reputation. They ignored the sentiments of students, faculty and staff. They ignored accountability to most constituents through destructive actions without concern or explanation. They were too arrogant and inexperienced to recognize the hazards of following the recommendations of their incompetent attorney. Their ill-advised actions to dispose of two qualified, capable, and respected presidents made everything worse. It has wasted huge sums of money and resulted in a recent court ruling that humiliated the trustees’ absurd legal claims for ignoring the validity of President Swayne’s contract.

It should be emphasized this is a tragic example that Brent Regan’s KCRCC endorsed candidates are unqualified, chaos minded and purpose contaminating. Know and remember that they have great potential to cause uncalculated and irreparable damage.
