U of I Board of Trustees Chairman, Niranjan Shah Resigns

The Associated Press is reporting that Niranjan Shah, the Chairman of the University of Illinois Board of Trustees, has submitted his resignation.

Shah's resignation comes as a commission appointed by Gov Quinn, is hearing testimony of allegations of political clout being used to get unqualified students admitted into the university. Last week, Trustee Lawrence Eppley also submitted his resignation.
