UM: General Counsel

The University of Michigan is paying a $50,000 stipend to Suellyn Scarnecchia, UM’s general counsel who is resigning that position, which she’s held since 2008. According to a report in the Detroit Free Press, the pay is in addition to her $312,000 salary as general counsel, which she will retain until May 2013. She will remain a special advisor to Coleman until then, when her contract as general counsel ends. She’ll return to teach in the law school in January 2013 after taking a semester off. [Source]
