Chicago Tribune: Chicago State University: Faculty, students criticize 2 finalists for president as political insiders
Disappointed staff, students call them political insiders
When Chicago State University President Elnora Daniel stepped down last year, faculty and students hoped a new president would bring a fresh start to the troubled university.
Instead many on the South Side campus are criticizing the two finalists as political insiders: Wayne Watson, chancellor of the City Colleges of Chicago, and Carol Adams, secretary of the Illinois Department of Human Services. Some students plan to wear black in protest when the finalists visit the campus for meetings this month.
