Univ. of Illinois College of Business Dean on "partial leave of absence without pay"


Regular visitors to Marathon Pundit know I've been covering the military scholarships scandal at my alma mater, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for the last six months.

Here are three of the relevant posts:

It happened two months ago, quietly, but one of the key figures involved in this mess, College of Business Dean Avijit Ghosh, has gone on a "partial leave of absence without pay."

Dr. Greg R. Oldham is now the college's acting dean. I have no other information on why Ghosh is on a leave of absence.
