An Iowa community college president resigned less than a week after a photo was published appearing to show him pouring beer into a young woman's mouth.Iowa Central Community College's board of trustees voted unanimously to accept Robert Paxton's resignation Thursday and approved a severance package that officials said was valued at about $400,000.
The photo, which was published Saturday in The Des Moines Register, shows Paxton with a group of young people on a boat. He is holding a small keg above a young woman's head. The Register said the photo was taken over the Fourth of July weekend at Lake Okoboji and sent to the paper unsolicited.
Paxton, president of the Fort Dodge school for 13 years, signed a three-year contract days before the photo was taken. As part of his severance package, he will be paid for two of those years and get health benefits for a period of time.

He's not pouring beer into her mouth...he's holding her nose so she drinks it up!
$400,000 is a nice leaving present though.
