ARKANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Former Cowley College President Clark Williams, who resigned under pressure in April, could receive more than $200,000 under his separation agreement.

The Arkansas City Traveler reports the agreement prohibits Williams from suing the college or competing against it. The newspaper received the separation agreement this week after filing an open records request.

Williams resigned after only nine months on the job amid criticism of his decisions, including ending the men’s and women’s soccer programs and firing men’s basketball coach Tommy DeSalme. Both decisions were reversed after his resignation.

The agreement will pay Williams through July 2015. He will receive $224,640 for the 16 months governed by the contract.

The agreement also prohibited college officials and Williams from discussing the settlement terms.
