Illinois State University’s interim president said Wednesday that he’s canceled plans for a student fee increase for Athletics and pledged “closer oversight” of Athletics fundraising in the wake of a costly and widely condemned donor junket.
Many of those who worked under Kyle Brennan say the rebuilding must acknowledge broader workplace-culture issues inside Illinois State University Athletics – problems that go beyond any single junket on a millionaire’s private jet.
An Illinois State University spokesperson says they're working on the details of Kyle Brennan's separation. The athletics director's resignation is effective April 30.
Six weeks before he was indicted on federal tax-fraud charges, former Reditus CEO Aaron Rossi pledged a $3 million donation to Illinois State University Athletics to help build its new Indoor Practice Facility, WGLT has learned.
