Richard Herman Says He Intends to Stay
Story air date: Friday, August 14, 2009

The man in charge of the University of Illinois’ Urbana campus says he intends to stay put as long as he’s wanted. Chancellor Richard Herman’s name was attached to some of the controversial admissions decisions based on inquiries from university trustees or influential politicians. Now the U of I is disowning the so-called Category I clout list and trustees have either resigned or have been asked to do so. Herman and president Joseph White also find themselves facing calls to step down. Herman told AM 580's Tom Rogers he still has the support of a broad constituency.
