A failed presidential hire still on the U of Maine payroll

Michael Laliberte withdrew from a contract with the University of Maine at Augusta over search-process issues. He could still make $700,000 without working a day on the job. Despite nearly three decades of higher education experience, Michael Laliberte hasn’t found a new job since he withdrew 16 months ago after being hired at the University of Maine at Augusta. But he’s still drawing a paycheck from the University of Maine system.
