COEUR d’ALENE — A judge has ordered North Idaho College to pay President Nick Swayne’s attorney fees after he successfully sued NIC for a copy of an investigative report that had been at the center of debate on the board of trustees.

Swayne won a lawsuit in January seeking information about an investigation into a former college employee’s allegations of “retaliatory treatment and retaliatory discharge” by Swayne and other college employees.

In a written decision filed Friday, First District Judge Barry McHugh awarded Swayne attorney fees and costs in the amount of $29,639.
