Fox5: Faculty Wants MC President Fired

Fox5 & News Channel 8 report on the vote of no confidence in Montgomery College President Brian Johnson by Montgomery College faculty.

In part, the faculty is concerned with an issue that has also been raised with regard to Montgomery County Public School administrators; misuse of issued credit card.
"The most egregious [are] things like $900 limo rides while he's away at a conference," said Nicholson.

Professors say the president of their institution has submitted "unusual" expense account statements. Asked to cite examples, Joan Gough, the Chair of the Academic Assembly answered, "Travel expenses, expenses on limousines. There seems to be a lot of excessive eating out."

The faculty members said in the letter that Johnson "has habitually failed to attend meetings" and ceremonial events, snubbing the likes of Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) and County Executive Isiah Leggett (D); that he sometimes leaves his office "for a day or several days" without explanation; and that he has spent excessive amounts on limousines, drivers, hotels and airfare.
