3 University of Illinois Trustees Seats Vacant
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) -- Three of the 10 seats on the University of Illinois' Board of Trustees are vacant after the appointments expired, and it isn't clear how or when Gov. Pat Quinn will fill them.

The terms of Frances Carroll, Karen Hasara and Carlos Tortolero expired Sunday. Quinn has yet to say whether they'll be reappointed or replaced.

Quinn spokeswoman Annie Thompson told The (Champaign) News-Gazette that the governor hopes to have decisions made soon.

Hasara says she's spoken with the governor's staff but doesn't know when or how Quinn will act.

Quinn appointed Hasara and Tortolero in 2009 to fill seats left vacant when other board members resigned over a university admissions scandal. Carroll refused to resign.
