Tribune:
Chicago State University trustees this morning chose Wayne Watson, chancellor of the City Colleges of Chicago, as president, replacing ousted leader Elnora Daniel.Well I wonder how is it the top candidates for that position are known quantities within both the city and state political establishment.
The announcement at a trustees' meeting was greeted with boos.
Watson was selected over Carol Adams, secretary of the Illinois Department of Human Services. Critics characterized both of them as political insiders.
"I feel that I'm at a funeral, and we are presiding over the burial of hope and change," said Van Searcy, president of the Faculty Senate, during the period for public comment after the vote.
The announcement came days after the Faculty Senate took the unusual step of asking Gov. Pat Quinn to remove the trustees and stop the board from hiring a president.
