John, great work here. As an Illinois vet, I've talked to Mr. van der Hooning about the program and the scholarships. I've also pointed several candidates in his direction.
This isn't a case of misunderstanding. It's a broken promise by the University. And the University has been too short-sighted to realize that they've squandered a long-term opportunity to emerge from the shadows of Kellogg and UoC's programs by building the program's reputation through the graduates of these scholarships.
One good thing to come out of this story is that Mr. van der Hooning has given all of us a priceless leadership example of courage and integrity.
