The chairman of the University of Illinois Board of Trustees resigned Monday, the Chicago Tribune [1] reported. Niranjan Shah was the latest person to be done in by the admissions controversy that has embroiled the university; Shah was among the university officials who had been accused of pushing to admit applicants based more on their political connections than their academic credentials. A state panel investigating the admissions controversy called last week [2] for all politically chosen trustees to resign, and Shah is the second to do so.
