SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — The Illinois Board of Higher Education paid a former executive director $48,000 to resign in the fall of 2012 while stating publicly — to avoid negative publicity — that he would be available for consultation during the transition to a new chief, the state’s inspector general said in a report released Friday.
George Reid was asked to leave his $193,000 job in September 2012 after just 18 months because the board found he was an ineffective and combative manager who alienated staff, the report released by the Illinois Ethics Commission said.
