State Rep. Jeanne Ives (R-Wheaton) filed an amendment on Tuesday to a House resolution that would deepen the Illinois auditor general's investigation into the financial activity of the College of DuPage.
Following word from school officials that a deadline to agree to a state-run audit would not be met and a threat from Illinois lawmakers to slash funding, the College of DuPage has hired the PR firm Res Publica Group. The audit comes as a result of continuing questions about financial oversight at the College of DuPage, which is supported by property taxes, state appropriations and tuition,, that saw the board approve a nearly $763,000 severance package for school President Robert Breuder.

“I am running because I am appalled by COD’s recent illegalities, irregularities and evasions. Taxpayers and students deserve much better.”
