  5. More vandalism directed at UIC's undocumented

    After a significant part of an outside, on-campus exhibit celebrating undocumented students and alumni was found vandalized last week, the University of Illinois at Chicago community is in full-response mode --working to not only repair the damage, but also to show the vandals and others that discrimination against undocumented individuals will not be tolerated at UIC.

  9. Chicago's other Nobel Peace Prize laureate
