Judge awards Palmer alumni group $1.3M

A Scott County judge has ordered Palmer College of Chiropractic to release $1.3 million to its disassociated alumni association in a dispute that began years ago with a battle over a voting seat on the college’s board, according to a news report in the Quad City Times.

In turn, the alumni association was fined $500 for contempt for continued use of the abbreviation PCCIAA, for Palmer College of Chiropractic International Alumni Association, the order said.

The fight continues, however, as the judge has temporarily stayed the order at the request of Palmer’s attorneys.

According to the newspaper report, the alumni group anticipates continuing with its four focal areas: student recruitment, membership, scholarships, and college support.
