university laboratory high school
For the second year, Newsweek has named Uni High one of the nation’s 19 “public elites” as part of its ranking of the top U.S. high schools. Newsweek ranks schools based on a “Challenge Index” devised by education reporter Jay Mathews of The Washington Post. All public schools with an index of at least 1.00 made the list. They are in the top 5 percent of public schools measured this way. Because this system leaves out many of the nation’s most celebrated public schools, Newsweek last year added the category of “public elites.”

university library
Several titles were incorrect in the following listing in the July 5 issue of “Inside Illinois.” The corrected version:
Four UI librarians were honored in May at the Lavender Graduation and LGBT Awards Ceremony sponsored by the Office for LGBT Resources. The event recognized those who promote an LGBT-friendly environment on campus.
Honored with a group award: Betsy Kruger, head of circulation and professor of library administration; John Littlewood, retired government documents librarian, gay literature bibliographer and professor emeritus; Nancy Romero, retired rare book and special collections cataloger and professor emeritus; Beth Stafford, retired head librarian for the women and gender resources library and professor emeritus. The award was created especially for them to recognize their efforts in building, cataloging, promoting and disseminating the resourcesof the library’s LGBT collection.
