  • NIC Trustees have widened the scope of the investigation and brought new evidence to light.
  • This includes allegations that Swayne was preventing the college from cooperating with trustees to release emails/documents to NIC counsel’s request for information.
  • Further, allegations that the contract for Swayne’s employment contains an illegal clause requiring a 4-1 vote to terminate his contract with the college (“supermajority vote”) since Idaho is an “at-will” employment state.
