| UIC to release Obama-Ayers records |
| 2008-08-23 |
| The University of Illinois at Chicago did an about-face Friday, agreeing to release records on Barack Obama's service to a nonprofit education reform group linked to 1960s radical William Ayers. Although the records of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge had been at the UIC library since 2002, the school denied requests to review them, saying the donor had not given ownership rights to UIC. Friday, UIC said it had fulfilled the terms of the gift and plans to make the records available Tuesday. Obama was the first chairman of the group Ayers helped start. |

| #4 Obama ran the project for sure, straight into the ground. My understanding is that even by Annenberg's low standards this $50 million sinkhole was judged a abject failure. Also, Kurtz was originally provided a summary sheet of the CAC collection that said there were 900+ files. It will be an easy enough task to determine what documents are missing. |

| #1 "UIC - Here you go. Kurtz - There's only one small folder?? UIC - That's all that's left. Kurtz - What happened to the rest? UIC - The "Terms of the Gift" were "Fulfilled". Kurtz - That seems pretty extreme! UIC - Silly Man, this IS Chicago." |
