Quick Takes: Protest Over Political Ban at Illinois, Another Scandal for Pa. Loan Agency, Patent Loss for Johns Hopkins, Sick Students at Georgetown, Ig Nobel Prizes :: Inside Higher E

Protest Over Political (make that "Obama") Ban at Illinois: "Faculty members held a rally at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to back the Obama presidential campaign Thursday to show that they will not follow guidelines issued by the university that bar them from rallies or wearing political buttons on campus, the Chicago Tribune reported. The university says it isn’t enforcing the guidelines, which it says are required by state law."

Nothing will happen to them for defying the ban. The U of I faculty will continue electioneering for Obama in every arena, including the classroom, and nothing will be done about it.
