Rumpler
COEUR d’ALENE — Laura Rumpler, North Idaho College’s former chief communications officer, is suing the college, alleging trustees violated the terms of her employment contract and Idaho’s employment laws and deprived her of due process rights.
Filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court, the civil complaint names NIC and college trustees Tarie Zimmerman, Brad Corkill, Mike Waggoner, Todd Banducci and Greg McKenzie in their official capacities as board members.
Rumpler seeks a jury trial, at least $75,000 in attorney fees and damages amounting to at least $141,822 due to lost wages and benefits, “damage to her personal and professional reputation” and “emotional distress.” She has also asked the court to force trustees to enter executive session in order to consider her grievance against NIC President Nick Swayne and former Chief Human Resources Officer Karen Hubbard.
