Beleaguered Chicago State President Steps Down

The machines were purchased from A & W Group, a company owned by Michael Vernon Warren, then the university's director of publications and copy services, according to a published report.

Chicago State bought the copiers and paper with grant funds from the U.S. Agency for International Development. They were to be used to print textbooks for schoolchildren in Ghana.

"There is a cloud that has developed in terms of the financial integrity of the school that we have to remove," Chicago State trustee Rev. Leon Finney said Wednesday. "Many people think a tree starts dying from its roots. It doesn't. It starts dying from the top."

Founded in 1867 as a teacher training school, Chicago State moved to its current location in 1972.
