Two separate reviews of allegations that the police chief at Northern Illinois University, Donald Grady, had offered a bribe to and had threatened a student journalist have found no evidence of wrongdoing, the university has announced. The investigations were carried out by an independent panel appointed by the university’s president and by the internal-affairs unit of the Illinois State Police. The university has reinstated the chief and is planning to hire a public-information officer to improve communications involving campus agencies for public safety, health services, and emergency management.

One Response to Police Chief at Northern Illinois U. Is Cleared of Allegations Lodged by Student Journalist

Well, as per usual at NIU, this case was “fixed” in favor of the Chief. Only a ten second review of the Chiefs past record of performance and the previous serious incidents in which he was involved, would clearly show who was really at fault in this case.
