Incoming University of Illinois President Timothy Killeen will assume office on Monday, May 18. He succeeds Robert Easter, who's served as the top administrator for the three campuses since 2012. He spoke with WILL's Jim Meadows about his vision for the future of the three campuses, his strategy for dealing with state budget cuts and the recent scandals at the U of I.

Outgoing U of I President Bob Easter will step down as an administrator - for good this time - after weekend commencement ceremonies.  He talked with Jeff Bossert about being tapped to lead the school in 2012, and what he's learned since.

University of Illinois President Robert Easter will get one last pay increase before he retires later this month.  At their meeting Thursday in Springfield, U of I trustees approved a $167, 200 performance bonus.

Startup costs of the engineering-based school are estimated at $100 million.  At their meeting Thursday in Urbana, U of I Trustees also announced that President-designate Timothy Killeen will start May 18.

Trustees have approved the first zero-percent tuition increase for in-state freshman in 20 years.  Timothy Killeen was formally named the next president of the U of I.
