Senator calls for probe of Chief decision
SPRINGFIELD – A state lawmaker is calling for an investigation into how the decision to retire Chief Illiniwek was handled.
"I've written a letter to the attorney general asking her to investigate the actions, proper or improper, on the (University of Illinois) Board of Trustees in the way that they handled this decision," state Sen. Bill Brady, R-Bloomington said. "I think that many people are calling into question these actions and the way they took place."
