Central figure in military scholarships scandal lands new U of I job


Avijit Ghosh, dean of the University of Illinois College of Business while the military scholarships scandal occurred, has a new job with the university.

Currently on leave from that position, Ghosh on New Year's Day will become the school's vice president of technology and economic development--earning a salary that matches, pending approval of the university's board of trustees his take with the College of Business--$339,000 a year.

Earlier this year Ghosh was a candidate for the president's position at Western Michigan University.

Incidentally, I'm still wondering how many military scholarships were offered by the university for this year's Chicago executive MBA program.
