Speakers ask board to get rid of Chief

URBANA – The director of the American Indian studies program at the University of Illinois chided UI trustees today for failing to make progress toward retiring Chief Illiniwek.

Wanda Pillow, who first addressed the board a year ago, said board resolutions promised to consult with American Indians on the issue, but none of the trustees has contacted her program or the Native American House for input.
