Chicago Tribune: U. of I. admissions scandal: Faculty panel wants leadership change at school
Replacing Herman and White best for school, panel says

University of Illinois faculty leaders urged Thursday that the institution’s president and chancellor be replaced to restore public confidence following a monthslong admissions scandal.

“An orderly transition to new leadership for both of these positions is in the best interests of this campus, and the university,” according to a statement approved by the 15-member Senate Executive Committee.
