The North Idaho College Board of Trustees signed a settlement agreement Feb. 26 resolving Rumpler v. NIC, a federal lawsuit. 

"NIC categorically denies any and all wrongdoing or liability in the matter," according to a press release issued this morning. "The decision to settle the case was based on the best interests of NIC, avoiding the high cost and distraction of litigation, and maintaining a positive path forward."

 “We’re happy to lay this issue to rest,” said Tom Greene, NIC Interim Chief Communications and Government Relations Officer, in the release. “NIC looks forward to continuing to focus on its core mission of providing an outstanding education to our students and serving our community.”
