Quinn says President B. Joseph White let him know that his
resignation is imminent. White has been at the center of the
controversy over reports that the university admitted politically
connected students over more qualified applicants.
Quinn said last Wednesday that it is time for the university to
move on.
He says White's resignation will help clear the air over the
admissions scandal, but he adds that he didn't pressure White to
resign.
Last week, the University of Illinois Faculty Senate approved a
resolution that supported the removal process for both White and the
chancellor of the university's Urbana-Champaign campus, Richard
Herman.
