Judge Nullifies Ex-President's $400,000 Buyout

A California judge on Wednesday nullified a $400,000 exit package that Pasadena City College's board last year provided to Mark W. Rocha as he was leaving the presidency there, The Los Angeles Times reported. The judge ruled that the board violated California law by failing to discuss and vote on the proposed agreement in public. Rocha left amid a series of conflicts with faculty members over his leadership.
