Former N.C. State University Provost Larry Nielsen's severance package was increased last month.

Records show that Chancellor Jim Oblinger cut a deal to boost Nielsen's severance the day before Nielsen resigned.

The terms show he will receive more than was previously disclosed — $310,255 in extra pay above his faculty salary.

The documents directly contradict public comments that Oblinger made after Nielsen left as chief academic officer at the state's largest university. The university released the information late Sunday after days of requests from the N&O.

They also show that Oblinger changed the severance in apparent violation of university rules. (N&O)

I wish RTB would let us use some dirty words.
