UIUC trustees to be asked to resign

[Gabe]

From the Chicago Sun-Times: http://www.suntimes.com/news/commentary/...5a.article

Quote:If you're not offended by the scandal at the University of Illinois, you haven't been paying attention.

For years, a shadow admissions system has flourished at the Urbana-Champaign campus, allowing unqualified students with clout to get in over other kids.

Quote:Later this week, the commission will recommend that the full board resign, leaving it up to [Governor] Quinn to decide which resignations to accept.

The Sun-Times argues that such action would hurt the school.

One of the bloggers makes a lot of sense in the comments section:

So the trustees are either involved in or ignored unethical acts but because they have been doing this for a long time we should keep them. Nonsense, they can all be easily replaced.

To me after all that I read, sounds like diploma mill practices to me. All it needs is its own congressional hearing to make it complete.

Truly these are diploma mill practices of the absolute worst order.  And not just some third world backwater but a vaunted Big Ten gold standard powerhouse.  

All this corruption and conflict of interest going on right under the big noses of "government agent" George Gollin and his "Conflict of Interest Officer" wife and not a word being said by either of them.

So far neither Gollum nor any of his Congressbimbo pals have said a word about the University of Illinois diploma mill practices.  

Where is Senator Susan Collins of Maine to conduct another three ring circus inquisition in Washington?  

Where is Minnesota Congresswomanperson divorcee Betty McCollum to "collaborate" with Gollum on another fake article about fake doctors with fake degrees killing fake people?

Here's what the collaborators said:

Quote:As consumers, employers and citizens, we must be able to trust that the higher education credentials of a doctor, engineer or technician are authentic and valid. Diploma mills are sophisticated scams that undermine the credibility of legitimate professionals and must be stopped. It is time to crack down on these bogus degree factories and the scam artists who use them to take advantage of us. Congress needs to take the first step and act now.

Sounds like they were talking about the University of Illinois.  Let's see Congress take the first step and act now to shut down this U of I fraud factory.

Anyone noticed that GG has not posted at degreedis all week? Perhaps he is getting promoted - or is on the track of another mill?

Are you kidding?
They do not want to end on the Mosley/Churchill/Hayward/Irving side of the fence...
Don't you think the mafia brotherhood of politicians keeps files on everybody?
If so, what prevents dirty laundry from being washed in public?
Answer: what mafiosi call omertà...I look elsewhere and keep quiet about you as long as you keep quiet about me & look elsewhere...

Heidi got released Friday.  He was probably hiding in the basement in case she headed east.
