Fitzgerald appointed to U. of Ill. board
CHAMPAIGN – Former U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald is taking on a new role, as a University of Illinois trustee.
Gov. Pat Quinn announced Friday that he appointed Chicago's former top federal prosecutor and corruption buster to the university's board that oversees the three-campus university system.
Fitzgerald, best known as the tenacious prosecutor who helped put former Illinois Govs. George Ryan and Rod Blagojevich in prison, said Quinn approached him about the position earlier this month.
