Former Cowley College President Could Receive $200K In Separation Agreement

Former Cowley College President Clark Williams resigned from his post under pressure in April. However, Williams could receive more than $200,000 under his separation agreement.

The agreement keeps Williams from suing the college or competing against it. It also keeps college officials and Williams from discussing the settlement terms.

Williams resigned after only nine months on the job. He was criticized for his decisions, including ending the men's and women's soccer programs and firing men's basketball coach Tommy DeSalme.

The agreement will pay Williams through July 2015. He will receive $224,640 for the 16 months governed by the contract.
