Tribune sues U. of I. for applicant data -- chicagotribune.com

Tribune sues U. of I. for applicant data -- chicagotribune.com: "The Chicago Tribune filed a state lawsuit Tuesday against the University of Illinois demanding the immediate release of grade point averages and standardized test scores of the hundreds of college applicants placed on an internal list of well-connected students."
--------------
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne is trying to minimize the public disgrace of their clout list by trying to hide the evidence. I think the end result will be to compound the damage, because the Trib seems likely to win this lawsuit. They aren't asking for the names of the applicants--just their scores.
