Speaking of Reese - it is out as an Obama Library contender, as is McCaffery's dream of it at Lakeside. There will be other cuts between now an early next year, when we'll have just two finalist locations left (while it will be awarded to a Chicago site in the end, it will be interesting to see if the two finalists are both Chicago sites). I think it's an absolute joke through and through that Chicago State was not among the very earliest sites to be cut - it is truly astonishing that that 'university' has not lost whatever accreditations it has.......I suppose with racial politics in Chicago, maybe that will never happen? But, I have to say that it is a shame that there was not more experience and financial and organizational firepower behind the Reese site.......just based on the site alone, I would have placed it up there maybe only behind a UC area site (which is now of course the very clear frontrunner)....
