Limbaugh to be paid until June

Montana State University-Northern is paying former Chancellor James Limbaugh his normal salary until June.

Limbaugh will continue to receive the rest of his $162,419 annual salary until his contract is up June 30, 2015.

“It’s basically part of his severance package,” said Jim Potter, director of university relations.

While paying the former chancellor for the rest of the year, the university will also pay Interim Chancellor Greg Kegel the same salary, $162,419.

Limbaugh resigned unexpectedly two weeks ago, citing tensions at the school.
