ride
Charlotte Brownfield
jokes with Officer Curt Bolding after taking a spin in a university
police patrol car April 27. Brownfield, a business manager in the
department of computer science, wasn’t under arrest, she was
celebrating her retirement from the UI after 40 years of service.
And for some reason, she had always wanted to ride in a police car
across the Quad. So her supervisor, Kathy Veach, helped make it
happen with a call to the Division of Public Safety.
Brownfield was taken away from her retirement dinner without her
co-workers’ advance knowledge of the request and driven around
campus, including a drive across the Quad. |

Correction
In the April
19 edition of Inside Illinois, it was stated that lawyers for the
UI and the American Civil Liberties Union "agreed to extend
Judge Mihm’s initial 10-day ruling that said NCAA rules do
not prohibit faculty members and students ‘who do not represent
the athletic interests of the university and who do not intend and
will not recruit prospective athletes’ from talking to high
school recruits about the Chief issue."
The article was incorrect in stating that it was the court’s
ruling that the NCAA rules do not prohibit such contacts. The court’s
Temporary Restraining Order restrains the enforcement of the requirement
contained in Chancellor Michael Aiken’s March 2 e-mail that
faculty members or students obtain authorization from the director
of athletics prior to contacting prospective student athletes. The
order did not prohibit enforcement of the NCAA rules. |
