Business community supports NIC

Our community is facing a critical threat - the risk of loss of NIC’s accreditation. The Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities is expected to issue their decision on the show cause sanction by end of July. Loss of accreditation for NIC would have devastating consequences for North Idahoans, making higher education costlier and harder to access. Additionally, our local job market would suffer a severe blow as the business community relies heavily on NIC for an educated and skilled workforce.

It was his first time riding a horse. "It was amazing! It was fun!" the enthusiastic new equestrian said when he stepped off the horse.

OPINION: NIC debacle demonstrates the dangers of extremism

The political extremists who took control of North Idaho College in the 2020 trustee election wasted little time trying to destroy what had been the jewel in Idaho’s community college crown since its founding in 1933. The hostile take-over of NIC’s board of trustees was engineered by Brent Regan and his collection of far-right extremists. They falsely claimed in the election that NIC was run by a bunch of radical liberals who were essentially brainwashing the students. Nothing could have been further from the truth but Regan’s candidates carried the day.

BANDUCCI: Resignation would secure accreditation

A May 26 Coeur d’Alene Press article said the NIC board of trustees voted on a statement regarding its many no-confidence votes. Why? The board’s opinion won’t change the votes, so what’s the point? More striking was Mr. Banducci’s rambling tirade about a completely different issue. He spent much of the article moaning about an incident where someone threw water on him. That sucks, but it’s hardly life-threatening. Then he said he was a senior military officer, when I read he was just a major in the reserves. I don’t know if he did any active duty, let alone combat, which might explain his fretting over a bucket of water.
