COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho — North Idaho College’s radiography technology program is on probation — not because of its quality, but because of the college’s ongoing accreditation woes.
Several NIC programs, including radiography technology and nursing, are separately accredited through specialized bodies. Most programmatic accreditors also require institutional accreditation for the college offering the programs.
The show cause sanction NIC received from its accreditor earlier this year triggered an unannounced site visit by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiological Technology. The committee’s policies require such a visit in the event of a show cause sanction.
At a March meeting of the NIC board of trustees, Radiography Technology Program Director Matthew Nolan said the committee found the program to be in substantial compliance with all standards, the highest possible finding.
But a report from JRCERT noted that the actions of trustees have “potentially compromised the institution’s accreditation status, indicating a lack of support for the program at the institutional level.”
