Chicago Tribune: University of Illinois trustee resigns over admissions scandal
Trustee Lawrence Eppley urges other board members to quit
A University of Illinois trustee’s resignation Tuesday made him the first casualty of the school’s high-profile admissions scandal, though fellow board members and those investigating abuses suggested that others are likely to fall.
Trustee Lawrence Eppley quit in a two-page letter to Gov. Pat Quinn that implored his fellow board members to step down along with him. He also urged administrators at the Urbana-Champaign campus to take responsibility for their actions in order to help the university regain the state’s trust.
