The ex-president of Dixie Technical College has been given her job back. The Salt Lake Tribune reports the board of the Utah System of Technical Colleges voted Thursday to reinstate Kelle Stephens after she was fired in January.
The board did not give a public explanation for her dismissal. Stephens had claimed she was the victim of blackmail by a disgruntled former employee, who sent deceptively-edited audio recordings to officials.
The board agreed to give Stephens a roughly $14,000 salary increase and a $100,000 payment in exchange for her dropping wrongful termination claims.

System spokesman Joe Demma says the decision to reinstate Stephens was the result of months of discussion between the board and school officials.
