U Of I Academic Senate To Vote To Ban The Chief
(Urbana, IL) — Some folks at the University of Illinois want to ban Chief Illiniwek from football and basketball games next year. The university’s Academic Senate is set to vote next week on a ban. But U of I Chancellor Robert Jones says voting against The Chief will cost the school the trust of Chief supporters. Chief opponents say the mascot is racist even when volunteers portray him.
