Madigan office flatly denies Tribune report on student rights

Posted in:

* Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s spokesperson just called. She claimed the Tribune story quoted below about the Office of Executive Inspector General’s bizarre claims that students are covered under the state ethics law badly misquotes her office.

Here’s the original Tribune item

The state attorney general’s office said it was unclear how the state law applied to university employees and whether it applied to students.

Actually, the attorney general believes that students are not covered under the ethics law and, therefore, should not be subjected to the OEIG’s Orwellian ban of student participation in campus political events and activities.

There is less certainty, however, about university staff and faculty, and they’re looking into it.

However, the Associated Press appears to have picked up the Tribune item almost word for word this evening…

Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office said it’s unclear how the ethics law applies to university staff and whether it affects students.

Oops.
