COLUMBIA — University of Missouri System President Gary Forsee says he won't accept $100,000 in bonuses he is entitled to receive.
The former chief executive officer of Overland Park, Kan.-based Sprint Nextel Corp. cited the financial challenges the university system faces in turning down the extra money. He is eligible for the bonus because he met certain goals outlined in his contract.
