Sound familiar? Two university leaders resign after using personal e-mails for business

Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state and front-runner for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, is embroiled in a controversy over her use of a private e-mail server to carry out State Department business while she headed the department from 2009 to 2013. According to this Washington Post story, her e-mails were not marked as “classified” at the time but some of them contain information now considered classified, according to the intelligence community’s inspector general.

That’s not the only e-mail controversy currently playing out. Two top officials at the University of Illinois — the chancellor and provost — are leaving their jobs amid a controversy that involved using personal e-mails to conduct school-related business.

Phyllis Wise resigned as chancellor of the university at Urbana-Champaign in early August, citing “external issues” at the school that were too distracting, according to the Chicago Tribune. Provost Ilesanmi Adesida has announced that he is stepping down at the end of August and will be a professor in the electrical and computer engineering department. The newspaper said he gave similar reasons.

The university won’t say precisely why the two have left their jobs. The Tribune reported:

Both Wise and Adesida, the second-highest-ranked campus official, were among administrators who used their personal email accounts to discuss school-related business dating to early 2014, according to emails released this month by the university. The systematic manner of communicating outside the university email system apparently was aimed at getting around open records law and shielding those conversations from public view.
