The city has been working with national cybersecurity and data forensics consultants to resolve the situation, according to a press release.

Attorney Macomber’s investigation launched in December, after a three-person majority on NIC’s Board of Trustees voted to put college president Nick Swayne on administrative leave, ostensibly so Macomber could investigate language in Swayne’s contract that removed the board’s power to fire him without cause.

The suit contends that the board violated the terms of Swayne’s employment agreement by placing him on leave and asks the court to restore him to his position.
