NEW YORK (AP) – Former U.S. Sen. Bob Kerrey has stepped down as president emeritus of the New School, a university in New York City.

Kerrey recently agreed to become executive chairman of the San Francisco-based Minerva Institute for Research and Scholarship.

The New York Times reports (

The university had been paying him $602,000 per year. He will remain a consultant to the school through the end of the academic year.
