A former interim president of the University of Michigan resigned from his position as president University of Illinois today amid an admissions scandal.
Joseph White found himself at the center of controversy following a series of investigative reports by the Chicago Tribune this summer that revealed how many higher-ups at the university admitted politically connected students over those who were more qualified.
Before his time at U of I, White served as dean of U-M's Stephen M. Ross School of Business from 1991 to 2001, and as interim president at U-M in 2002.
