U of I MBA scholarships for Vets

From Rumsfeld in yesterday's press conference,

We've read about some colleges and law schools that have tried to forbid military recruiters from coming on campus; decisions that under the Supreme Court's recent decision could lead to the denial of federal dollars under the law. But it's also important to note that many colleges and universities welcome recruiters and are proud of our veterans. I'm told that the University of Illinois, for example, announced last month that it would offer 110 full Masters of Business Administration scholarships to military veterans worth about $74,000 each. What a wonderful demonstration of support for those folks who have stepped up and volunteered to help protect the American people and our free way of life.

Wasn't that part of populist liberal Pat Quinn's plans to invest in our vets (or am I mistaken)?

I don't who's idea or money. I didn't see anything about it locally.

Kudos to Quinn if it was his idea.

Now, if Blagojevich could only find it within himself to follow Quinn's adice on the discrimination commission.
