Well, Blago and the president of NIU have hit a new low. They’re planning on tearing down Cole Hall to build something called Memorial Hall in its place, because – in the words of NIU President John Peters – students couldn’t be expected to return to Cole.
Pardon my insensitivity, but hogwash! They’re talking $3 million “upfront money” just to get the bonds issued. (Total project cost: $40 million.)
