Iowa College Prez Takes an Active Interest in Student Activities

And when we say “student activities,” we mean the kind that involve mini-kegs of Coors Light. According to the Des Moines Register, Iowa Central Community College’s president, Robert Paxton, was partying with his son and some friends when someone on board snapped the above picture, which shows Paxton appearing to pour the beer down a young woman’s throat (and yeah, that’s some Smirnoff being poured down a second, unrelated throat in the corner). Paxton first denied being on the boat but then admitted it was him, although he “rarely drinks.”
ICCC trustees quoted in the Des Moines Register are split. Some are outraged by Paxton’s poor judgment, while others think the off-campus activity has no bearing on Paxton’s ability to run ICCC. That might be true, but considering every student who’s been suspended, expelled, reprimanded, or otherwise disciplined for some digital overshare, we think it’s about time college administrators worried about potential pictures surfacing anytime they’re just trying to have a little fun.
