A court hearing Friday morning revealed that North Idaho College attorney Art Macomber appears to have widened the scope of his investigation into Nick Swayne’s employment agreement. The new details emerged while Judge Cynthia Meyer heard arguments as to whether she should undo her order that restored Swayne to his position as active president while his lawsuit seeking permanent reinstatement proceeds.
Friday marked the first public update on the investigation since it was launched in December, when Macomber advised trustees to place Swayne on administrative leave.
A special meeting of the North Idaho College trustees did not happen Thursday night because Greg McKenzie, Todd Banducci and Mike Waggoner failed to show up.
An email from North Idaho College President Nick Swayne indicates that Greg South, the interim president now on administrative leave, altered the contract of a temporary employee to add a $40,000 exit bonus after that employee had already resigned.
