[Peace-discuss] Wisegal resigns

[Szoke, Ronald Duane]

URBANA, Ill. -- University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Chancellor Phyllis Wise said Thursday that she is resigning, citing a range of "external issues" she says have become a distraction for the school.

Wise leaves as she and the school face a lawsuit filed by a professor whose job offer she rescinded over his anti-Israel Twitter messages, a vote by a prominent academic group to censure the campus in response, and complaints and a pair of lawsuits alleging mistreatment of athletes in three sports. Her resignation is effective Aug. 12.
