Quinn: UI President White to Resign

Illinois Governor Pat Quinn says he expects to receive the resignation of the University of Illinois' president today.

The governor made his remarks on a Chicago radio station and repeated them before a breakfast he attended in Chicago this morning. There's been no official response from White or the University. Joseph White has come under scrutiny from university faculty members and the public for his part in an admissions scandal. Earlier this year - the Chicago Tribune reported the university accepted unqualified students who had connections to political clout. White has served as president since 2005. Chris Kennedy chairs the university board of trustees. When asked at the same breakfast featuring the governor this morning, Kennedy wouldn't comment this morning on White's resignation. Nor would Urbana Chancellor Richard Herman when we contacted his office this morning.
