Swayne faces state budget writers
North Idaho College President Nick Swayne touted growing enrollment and appealed to budget writers to support increasing employee compensation when he addressed the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee in Boise.
Wednesday marked the first time in three years that a permanent president represented NIC at the Statehouse. Also present in Boise were trustees Mike Waggoner and Todd Banducci, NIC’s Vice President for Finance and Business Sarah Garcia, Interim Provost Lloyd Duman and Interim Chief Communications and Government Relations Officer Tom Greene.
Spring enrollment at NIC is up 12.9% over last year. Swayne said this is a dramatic shift, as enrollment numbers have typically declined between 3% and 6% annually for the past decade.
