Montgomery College president could face vote Thursday

Published September 2, 2009 4:00am ET



Montgomery College’s board of trustees will meet Thursday to decide the fate of embattled college President Brian K. Johnson.

Faculty and staff have revolted against Johnson, accusing him of abandoning Maryland’s largest community college for lavish junkets around the world. First reported by The Washington Post on Wednesday, Johnson’s enemies have stuffed a clip file of what they’re calling outrageous expenses, from a $4,000-plus hotel bill in Delhi, India, to a $780 limousine ride in Boston. Since 2007, Johnson has billed the taxpayer-funded college for nearly $60,000 in expenses. The school pays him a $220,000 annual salary.
