"In a twist of irony, former board chair Christopher Kennedy, another key figure in Salaita’s firing, also slammed the payment to Wise.
“I wouldn’t give someone $400,000 to leave peaceably if they [did what she did],” Kennedy told the Tribune.
On Tuesday afternoon, the administration of Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner called on the university to reject the $400,000 payment to Wise.
According to the Tribune, the board’s three-member executive committee – Chair Edward McMillan and members James Montgomery and Karen Hasara – will take the decision on behalf of the board.
It should be recalled that Montgomery was the only trustee to vote in favor of Salaita’s appointment in September last year."
