College Prez Gets the Boot for Drinking With Kids
… but he also got a $400,000 severance package, so that’s pretty sweet. FOX News tells us:
An Iowa community college president resigned less than a week after a photo was published appearing to show him pouring beer into a young woman’s mouth.
The school’s board of trustees on Thursday unanimously approved Robert Paxton’s resignation. It also approved a severance package that officials said was valued at about $400,000…
The photo, which was published Saturday in The Des Moines Register, shows Paxton with a group of young people on a boat. He is holding a small keg above a young woman’s head. The Register said the photo was taken over the Fourth of July weekend at Lake Okoboji and sent to the paper unsolicited.
A message left at Paxton’s office wasn’t immediately returned Thursday. He previously defended the photograph, saying the keg shown was broken and wasn’t dispensing beer…
Haha, “the keg was broken.” Even if it was broken, that would mean he wasn’t pouring beer into a young girl’s mouth, merely trying his damndest to pour beer into a young girl’s mouth. And I guess that makes the photo explainable? Hmm.

Forget all of this though, my biggest question is, What did this guy tell his wife he was doing at the time? “Oh yeah honey, I’ll be home late today, big board meeting to go to.” Oops. I would have liked to be at the dinner table when the wife brought this story up.
