MILWAUKEE - The board of the state's Milwaukee Area Technical College fired its president, 10 days after he was ticketed for a first offense of operating while under the influence of alcohol.
The MATC board voted to terminate the employment contract of 61-year-old Darnell Cole after hearing from him while meeting in closed session.
According to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department report, a breath test put Cole's blood-alcohol content at 0.20 percent when he was arrested Feb. 9 2009, compared with the limit of 0.08 percent considered evidence of drunken driving in Wisconsin.
