Though the impact of new federal health care guidelines remains unclear, College of DuPage officials say they're planning to provide benefits to some part-time professors. The college will create the new position of "lecturer" — a nontenured adjunct faculty member who will teach more classes than the average adjunct professor, but still fewer classes than a full-time professor. The new designation would allow lecturers to be eligible for health care insurance, officials said.

Several experts from College of DuPage's Homeland Security Training Institute share their thoughts about what security lessons were learned from the Boston Marathon bombing. “You can't let fear dictate your life,” Michael Casey of the Suburban Law Enforcement Academy said. “Because if you do, then they (the terrorists) have won.

Glen Ellyn, COD reach lift station agreement Apr 26, 2013 12:00 AM
Glen Ellyn public works employees will now be able to work on a village-owned sanitary lift station located on College of DuPage property, under an agreement approved this week. The lift station was constructed in the early 1970s on COD property at 580 S. Park Blvd., and while an easement was drafted at the time, it was never executed, village officials said. COD and Glen Ellyn officials have had discussions about easements over the past seven years, but it wasn't until this week that the village board and college board both unanimously approved a licensing agreement that grants the village a 20-by-60 feet easement.

Kory Atkinson has developed something of a reputation for himself since entering public office: He's the guy who tries to get other candidates kicked off the ballot.
