NEW YORK, Feb. 2 (UPI) -- Former U.S. Sen. Bob Kerrey, D-Neb., has left a controversial post as president-emeritus of the New School in New York, university officials confirmed.
Kerrey, who also formerly served as governor of Nebraska, had been paid $3 million as New School president in 2010, the most recent year tax documents are available. He gave up the post in 2012 while conducting an unsuccessful U.S. Senate campaign in Nebraska, but was retained in the emeritus role, leading to questions about whether he was fulfilling his duties.
