So far, the University of Illinois hasn’t been implicated in the Education Department efforts to get universities to fully report foreign donations of $250,000 or more, as required by the federal Higher Education Act. The University of Chicago is one of a group of schools that acknowledged about $3.6 billion in previously unreported foreign gifts during the crackdown.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
