As the Kentucky Community & Technical College System eliminates 506 jobs, it disclosed that it paid $815,741 last year to former president Michael McCall.
McCall, one of the highest-paid community college administrators in the country, retired in January 2015, ending a 16-year run as the only president that KCTCS ever had. The KCTCS Board of Regents gave him a one-year contract at his final annual salary to serve as president emeritus. Meanwhile, McCall moved to Isle of Palms, South Carolina, a beachfront town near Charleston.
