The LSU System legal counsel Ray Lamonica resigned from his position Thursday, according to the LSU System. His resignation comes a few months after former LSU System President John Lombardi was fired and former LSU Chancellor Michael Martin resigned.
Lamonica will retain his position as a professor in the Paul M. Hebert Law Center, but The Daily Reveille reported in March that Lamonica drew a six-figure salary from the Center despite not teaching for seven years. His resignation will go into effect Friday.
Last spring, Lamonica earned a $275,000 annual salary from the LSU System’s Office. Law Center officials confirmed to The Daily Reveille that $102,000 of his wages and $30,000 in his benefits were transferred from the Law Center’s budget to the System Office for his pay.
