CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) - A state senator asked Illinois attorney general Lisa Madigan to determine whether the University of Illinois board of trustees broke any laws when it retired the Chief Illiniwek mascot last month.
Sen. Bill Brady, R-Bloomington, asked in particular Friday whether the board violated the Open Meetings Act by doing away with the 81-year-old American Indian mascot Feb. 16 without a vote.
"The real issue here is did the board of trustees operate in a legal and trustworthy manner," Brady said in a news release.
