The University of Illinois is committed to fully cooperating with the Admissions Review Commission, an independent, fact-finding panel appointed by Governor Pat Quinn to investigate claims of special treatment for some applicants to the University.

Consistent with that commitment, the University today provided the Commission with additional documentation consisting of University emails. The full documents, with names redacted for student privacy, are available at www.uillinois.edu/our/news/2009/June25.docs.pdf.

The University’s cooperation with the Commission is being managed by the University Counsel’s office. The additional documents came to the University’s attention in the course of efforts to provide information requested by the Commission. The documents were identified on June 23, 2009.  The University informed the Commission of the additional documents on June 24 and is providing them to the Commission today.

The University has implemented a strict protocol for indentifying and preserving all documents relevant to the Commission.
