Issue: Republican student wants NIC refund: Complaints stem from instructor’s comments/Meghann M. Cuniff, Spokesman-Review

More Info: Linda Cook, a former aide to the late Idaho Congressman Helen Chenoweth and a longtime GOP supporter, withdrew last week from an entry-level English class taught by part-time instructor Jessica Bryan. Cook sent a letter to NIC Vice President Barbara Hanson Monday asking that the college refund her $379 course fee. On Monday, Bryan said Cook is “making a mountain out of a molehill” and that she’s “surprised and disappointed” that Cook didn’t tell her about her concerns before making a formal complaint.

DFO: And here’s where true believers in the Dem camp look bad. Refund her money.

Question: Who’s right here?
