Political Positions

Boland was been one of the most forceful voiced concerning admissions controversy at the University of Illinois, where it was revealed that relatives of politicians close to ex-governor Rod Blagojevich were being admitted by university officials. Boland called on them to resign, including B. Joseph White, saying "They were trusted to protect our university. In my eyes, they failed in that regard and they should resign."[1]
