Fury Continues Over the College of DuPage's Secret Six-Figure Severance Deal

The College of DuPage board of trustees on Jan. 28 approved a $762,000 taxpayer-funded buyout agreement for the community college’s president, Robert Breuder.

Despite calls from the public, faculty and students, and lawmakers from both sides of the aisle, the board reaffirmed its decision with a 6-1 vote.
