MY TURN: Here's how Banducci can be NIC hero

The recent response from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities to North Idaho College (NIC) was deeply concerning.

After enduring four years of their inadequate and unacceptable behavior, the commission has signaled that enough is enough. If there is no significant improvement in the conduct of these trustees before October, the college could face the loss of accreditation by April of next year.
