In e-mails released by the university and in news reports since May, it has become clear that University of Illinois Chancellor Richard Herman played a key role in what the university called its Category One List — a list of students with political connections whose applications for places at the flagship Urbana-Champaign campus were closely tracked. Some of those applicants were admitted over more qualified students, students that weren't politically connected.

In some e-mails, Herman pushed for the admission of underqualified applicants to the university's law school and agreed to provide scholarship money in exchange.



This is how UNDERQUALIFIED young people make their way into positions of power.

And this is how many of us are prevented from getting ahead.

This is just the frosting on their vile cake. The system is built to assure that only the most complacent and subservient can withstand the riggers of rote and rules that is the education system to even be considered for admission in the first place.

Yeah, well, there's not much we can do about the thousands of people that DIDN'T GET CAUGHT...

Especially when the ones that DO GET CAUGHT are allowed to keep their jobs, as you pointed out.

Someone that is CAUGHT doing something like this? They keep their "job" and just gets to step down as Chancellor, but keeps pay, and gets a "bonus,retainer"??

Wow, our generation will "learn" from this. Imagine how it will be then...
