| June 12, 2025 1:00 AM

Dr. Debbie DiThomas and I have been working with North Idaho College for more than two years to assist with restoring NIC to a favorable accreditation status. As a team, the board of trustees, in concert with President Nick Swayne, are making great progress.

During this entire process, in our communications with NWCCU, the college’s accreditation agency, never was DEI, or anything that falls under that umbrella, a topic. None of the recommendations issued by NWCCU to which NIC must respond involve anything to do with DEI.
