Why is it nearly every time a top public official gets ousted from their job the folks who pay the salary are the last to find out why? Case in point: This week's abrupt "mutually agreed upon" decision by the College of DuPage to move COD President Sunil Chand out of the college presidency and into a new role as "president emeritus" -- while also paying for an interim president on top of that. COD Board Chairman Micheal McKinnon said "all actions are done with the best interest of the taxpayers in mind." We suspect taxpayers wouldn't mind knowing exactly why Chand was removed from his job as president -- which remains a secret -- and why they now should have to pay for both a "president emeritus" and an interim president.
