Item: NIC Student Complaint Brings $379 Refund

Issue: NIC student gets refund after protesting teacher /Meghann M. Cuniff, Spokesman-Review

More Info: North Idaho College will refund the course fee paid by a student who claimed her instructor spent more time bashing Republicans than teaching. Longtime GOP supporter Linda Cook said she’s “thrilled to death” that NIC Vice President for Instruction Barbara Hanson decided to refund the $379 she paid for English 102 with part-time instructor Jessica Bryan.

Question: Is this a good outcome? Or will it have a chilling effect on classroom dialogue?
