Coming from Patrick Fitzgerald, a man most would expect to be upholding the law, this indeed is shocking:
Apparently, Fitzgerald, who has recently been lauded for getting rats and criminals out of IL businesses, now is chirping a different tune for jailbirds.
In his own words, would Fitzgerald consider the already-wronged populace of this laughing stock of a state "negligent" to not be so-inclined to have BLAHgo, Rezko, Ryan, and co. back in business?

Speaking of graduation, the News-Gazette on Monday, May 18th had an exquisite snapshot of the Chancellor of the University of Illinois, Richard Herman, snoozing during the speech by dubiously qualified financial advisor, Suze Orman.
Very professional of him.

Cantor's Commencement
Nancy Cantor is keeping up with her academic integrity, and has found Joe Biden, serial plagiarizer, to be Syracuse's commencement speaker in one of many graduations across the country. Biden had plagiarized work while a student at the school as a result of him "simply misunderstood the need to cite sources carefully." A more accurate and eye-opening appraisal of the results one garners from a modern university education can hardly be found.
The TASSers at the Daily Orange, who gladly gloss over and actively praise Cantor's attacks on free speech of any kind (unless plagiarized or Cooked) were pleasantly amused by Biden's casual dismissal of his (or is it?) work.
Plagiarism, of course, is no longer a crime in academics anymore, as case after case after case has demonstrated. Instead, the meta narrative makes them all play dead.
What does the Ivory Tower consider crimes these days? This:
Saying "guns."
Being yourself.

The minor buzz over at the UIUC revolves around the thrice-damaged signs protesting the Chief outside of the Native American House.
Teresa Ramos, whom the TASSers over at the DI can count upon at anytime to up the anglophobia quota, is back again at the News-Gazette (miraculously somehow promoted in ONE MONTH from Graduate student in her first letter to a PhD student) frothing over what she falsely asserts a lack of university response for the damage. As if a Phony hate-studies Doctorate (commonly known as a "PhD") in the Department of Fantasy-Academics (commonly known as "anthropology"), is not enough to raise some ears, her connection to ex-chancellor Nancy Cantor should be. In fact Cantor makes up part of the external advisory board of her pseudo-intellectual "diversity" undertaking prior to her exile from U-C. It seems, that the sigh of relief the populace had breathed after she was gone, was premature.
If Ramos had bothered to momentarily cease her banshee impressions and read something besides her own post-modern screed, she would have seen that police had offered security cameras set up to monitor the displays. And in good UofI fashion, the university decided to do the opposite of the most obvious course of action and decline.
As one poster for the above story asked, we join them as the most basic of all questions: why?
The university has in no way shown that it has any scruple for wasting money, so it does not seem likely that they will start now. How ironic that the NAH would not wish utilize tools best to catch the perpetrators.
Lest we forget, this is the same NAH, that on several occasions has attempted to stifle free speech (for good or for ill), which lauds itself for engaging in racist actions like painting faces black (which Ramos herself condemned!). Therefore, we can in no way discount the possibility that an organization that has engaged in conduct such as its previous skulduggery, would stoop to sabotaging their own display to rally support and accuse their opponents.
Before the temptation to accuse us Hounds of chasing black cars (we are Hounds, we do not do helicopters), it may wise to remember that this type of tactic is not unusual in a indocdiversity-laden institutions. Perhaps Kerri Dunn can vouch for this?

UNDer the block
The University of North Dakota has caved to NCAA/Brand imperialism and has voted to make chop siouxee of the Fighting Sioux nickname, despite siouxing the NCAA for overstepping its authority.
UND Overlord Robert Kelly has made it quite clear that his whole plan has been to re-market the brand.
Marketing initiative? Hackademic translation: opportunistic, self-serving, bureaucratic avarice.

UND Overlord Robert Kelly has made it quite clear that his whole plan has been to re-market the brand.
"What this permits the University of North Dakota to do is to start a marketing initiative," Kelley said. "Over time, I think we would see enhancement of our revenue structure for athletic programs. I think we would see the enhancement of fan interest."
Fan interest? Any ruler of a university that thinks that fan interest will increase (just as it did with Chief Illiniwek's removal) raises serious questions as to they are competent to run a university.
Marketing initiative? Hackademic translation: opportunistic, self-serving, bureaucratic avarice.
