Triton College survey sparks clashes over board credibility
Triton College student Chuck Sheets distributed a staff survey May 19 in the Learning Resource Center. Dr Brent Knight, acting president, denied a threat to sue and called the questions biased while a Faculty Advisory Committee letter alleging threats circulated anonymously. Collins, Long, and others disputed the letter, with no action taken against Sheets and graduation planned for December.

Mohr Leads RTA Reform Fight in Illinois Senate
Illinois Senator Howard Mohr of Forest Park leads a push for sweeping RTA changes in the Senate Transportation Committee, triggering Democratic walkouts and a partisan clash over whether to send the bill back to committee or advance to a second reading. The measure would localize tax money, grant sectional levies, separate chair and CEO roles, and require two thirds for most board actions. Mohr predicts more floor battles as suburban allies threaten to withhold support for the 1977 RTA budget.
