More details revealed regarding admissions for politically connected applicants at University of Illinois

Newly released documents show University of Illinois administrators negotiating with powerful figures seeking to influence admission to the Urbana campus.

The 123 pages of e-mail messages were released Thursday after a four-hour board of trustees meeting was held behind closed doors. They were in response to Freedom of Information requests from The News-Gazette and the Chicago Tribune. Radio station WDWS also received the documents.
