#1 As a UofI alum, I am saddened but far from surprised. This story has been brewing for quite awhile. That an administrator that came from U of MI could play the "I'm shocked" card, however, is rich.

Ed Martin and the UAW (among others) say "Hello".

PS: Can I see the Santa Claus picture? I got the fluffy bunnies.

#3 Check the date

It is an August 6, 2009 story.
U of I corruption has been streamlined since then. Makes you wonder, if they were essentially selling admissions were they selling grades too?
