President of Iowa Community College Caught Boozing on Boat With Bikini Babes - Robert Paxton, 52
SHOCKING UPDATE: ICCC Board Asks Partying Prez Robert Paxton to Resign, Gives Him 400,000 Reasons Not to Let the Door Hit Him on the Backside on the Way Out - Can you believe this? The guy lies about a party on his boat, then admits it, then gets nearly half a million dollars NOT to work for a couple of years. Where does the line form for that job? More at the Des Moines RegisterEARLIER REPORT: Over at our other site, BadJocks.com, we always wondered why college presidents never seemed to take a stand when we published pictures of underage college kids boozing it up during team initiations & hazings, despite school rules against such behavior. Well, now we know . . . at least at Iowa Central Community College, where President Robert "Animal House" Paxton appears in several pictures to be pouring beer down the throat of a young woman in a bikini. Not bad work, if you can get it, but probably not the way most parents want to think of the man at the head of the higher learning institution their children are attending. (In his defense, the tuition at ICCC is ridiculously low!)
Still, some people are not happy with the pictures and Paxton's lame attempts to dismiss the pictures is not earning him any points with the general public. How bad are they? Pres. Paxton--who initially denied the charges when approached by a reporter--now claims the keg in the photo was not even able to dispensed beer adding, "If you want to know the truth, the thing was broken. I never opened the tap on any keg." Asked what he was doing with the keg suspended over the woman's open mouth, Paxton said: "Nothing. The thing didn't work. I was laughing at them. You know, if I was doing anything, I was grabbing it and trying to put it back down." Here's more from The Des Moines Register:
A photograph showing Iowa Central Community College President Robert Paxton appearing to pour beer down the throat of a young woman has been circulating in the Fort Dodge area. Paxton, 52, and a group of young people are shown on a boat. Paxton and a young woman are holding a small keg of Coors Light above the head of another young woman, who appears to be drinking from the spigot held open by Paxton.Read more...
Paxton and an Iowa Central trustee said that Paxton had done nothing wrong and that the actions were in his private life, not his college work. But an academic ethics official said the photo shows a lack of good judgment that is expected from a person in Paxton's position as a college president.
When asked Friday about the photo, which also shows a passenger on the boat pouring vodka into the mouth of another person, Paxton initially told a Des Moines Register reporter, "I have no idea what you're talking about." Asked whether he had recently been aboard a boat with a group of young people, Paxton replied, "No, not recently I haven't."
In a separate conversation later in the day, Paxton acknowledged that he was aware of the photo. Asked why he initially denied knowledge of the picture, he said, "I was told not to speak." He declined to elaborate, however. Paxton said the photo was made on July 4 at West Okoboji Lake. He said his 19-year-old son, John, who was a student at Iowa Central last school year, is the younger man in the photo.
He said his son was not drinking on the boat. However, Iowa court records show that a day after the photo was made, John Paxton was arrested and charged with second-offense drunken driving in Dickinson County, where Okoboji is located. The younger Paxton has pleaded not guilty.
