UM: Joseph White

By

Former UM business school dean Joseph White is planning to resign as president of the University of Illinois in the wake of an admissions scandal, according to an Associated Press report. From the article: “News reports first surfaced in May that politically connected applicants for spots at the university’s flagship campus in Urbana-Champaign were given special attention and tracked through a list known as Category I. Those reports and documents later released by the university showed that some of those connected applicants were admitted over more qualified ones.” White also served as UM interim president in 2002.
