College of DuPage’s Breuder had private locker room built for him, senior execs

After spending $24 million to upgrade the College of DuPage’s fitness center, President Robert Breuder wanted one more renovation.

The community college president decided he needed a private changing area — and then spent thousands of dollars last year to transform a handicapped-accessible, family bathroom into a locker room to be used exclusively by him and select senior administrators.

Amid all of the controversies over lavish spending at the college — including Breuder’s much-criticized wine bills and hunt club outings — the bathroom renovations went largely unnoticed. A sign outside the door, secured by a keypad, said, “Authorized personnel only.”

At about $15,000, the renovations — completed last fall — were not as pricey as Breuder’s other vanity projects, including a new, well-appointed office suite, a $220,000 wall that chronicled his and prior presidents’ accomplishments, and his decision to open a high-end restaurant on campus where he then expensed hundreds of thousands of dollars in meals and drinks to his internal house expense account.
