This article describes how the University of Illinois is under investigation for admitting under qualified candidates because they had political clout pushing for them to be admitted to the University. The governor has a special commission set up to investigate just how far the dirty politics has spread to the Board and to the admissions department. Under Governor Blagojevich potential students were admitted to the University and its Law School who were under qualified but admitted because they were related to politically powerful people. The current University President who inherited the problem four years ago is regretful he didn't pursue this aggresively when he came to office but is trying to correct the issue now and so far evidence says he wasn't involve but people are calling for the Admissions Board and University Board members to step down from their positions as they were put in place by Blago. It's pretty obvious at this point that everything Blago touched in office is completely tainted by pay-to-play politics.
