McMillan, Principal and CEO, McMillan LLC The only one I know is Karen Hasara who is a graduate of UIS when it was SSU. She was also a Circuit Clerk when she got her degree in legal studies and then served in the Illinois House before becoming Mayor. She's a moderate Republican and has always been approachable on any issue. I also understand that the other 4 are all U of I grads. Fifth BoT is:

Maybe 1 or 2 w/ out college degrees who are captains of industry, sure, but 4 of the members? I think at one point during the Blago admin, the BoT had 4 members w/ out college degrees.
