akarunway 1 #30 August 21, 2008 Quote Univ. of Ill. Won't Release Obama Records Tuesday, August 19, 2008 4:00 PM WASHINGTON — The University of Illinois on Tuesday refused to release records relating to Barack Obama's service to a nonprofit group linked to former 1960s radical activist William Ayers. The university's Chicago campus said the donor of the records that document the work of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge has not yet turned over ownership rights to the material. The university is "aggressively pursuing" an agreement with the donor, and as soon as an agreement is finalized, the collection will be made accessible to the public, the university said in a one-paragraph statement. There was no indication when an agreement will be worked out. The university did not identify the donor who it said was concerned that the release not invade personal privacy. There was no immediate comment from the Obama campaign. On Monday, the National Review magazine posted an online article saying that the institution had initially declared that the records were open to inspection, but that the university subsequently reversed its position. On Tuesday, the university said that there had been a misunderstanding about the status of the collection. Ayers is an education professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago who in his youth co-founded the Weatherman, which espoused violence as a necessity for political change. In the 1990s, Ayers was instrumental in starting the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which was awarded nearly $50 million by a foundation to help reform Chicago schools. Obama was the first chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge and Republicans have been highlighting his ties to Ayers through the group. The Republican National Committee posted the National Review article on the RNC's Web site. In an interview, university spokesman Bill Burton said that the institution only recently was made aware that it did not have ownership, a requirement for making the collection public. The owner notified the university about the absence of a signed ownership agreement last week. "The donor's only concerns regarding the collection are due to personnel information that could include names, confidential salary information and even Social Security numbers," said the university spokesman. Burton, who has no connection to the Obama campaign spokesman with the same name, said he was not authorized to identify the owner. Obama was board chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge for three years starting in 1995 and he remained on the board until the project closed in 2001. The $49.2 million was the largest private gift ever made to Chicago schools. The money went to 250 schools in one of the nation's largest school districts. © 2008 Associated Press.
