CORVALLIS, Ore. – Former LSU President F. King Alexander submitted his resignation at Oregon State University after facing intense grilling over how he handled Title IX issues at Louisiana's flagship university.

Oregon State's Board of Trustees accepted Alexander's resignation Tuesday, approving with it a payout for him totaling $670,000. That money amounts to a year's worth of Alexander's salary along with relocation costs. He'll keep his health benefits through March 2022.

Alexander and the university also agreed to release any claims against the other.

His resignation is effective April 1, and he'll be placed on administrative leave in the interim.

The board placed Alexander on probation last week as Oregon State faced mounting pressure to remove him over the findings in Husch Blackwell's LSU report, which detailed the mishandling of sexual misconduct complaints during Alexander's time as president there.

It's the latest knock-on effect the Title IX report has had outside Louisiana. Earlier this month, the University of Kansas paid nearly $2 million to part with football coach Les Miles after allegations of inappropriate behavior surfaced because of the probe at LSU.
