CHAMPAIGN – The fallout continues from the recent controversies surrounding the University of Illinois.
The U of I announced Monday that Provost Ilesanmi Adesida is resigning at the end of the month and will return to the faculty. Adesida was among several U of I administrators, including Chancellor Phyllis Wise, who were recently found to have used personal e-mail addresses to hide correspondence on controversial topics. Wise stepped down earlier this month.
Acting Chancellor Barb Wilson says officials will name an interim provost quickly. She’s pledging to consult with faculty and student leaders on the decision.
