UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS CHANCELLOR RESIGNS. “University of Illinois Chancellor Richard Herman resigned today in the latest fallout from an admissions scandal that has rattled the Urbana-Champaign campus and upended its leadership. . . . Herman, 67, was the principal enforcer of a shadow admissions system that allowed subpar but well-connected students to get into the state’s premier public school. His resignation follows that of U. of I. President B. Joseph White, and six university trustees also have been replaced in the wake of the scandal.”
