GLEN ELLYN, IL - In a recent meeting, embattled College of DuPage (COD) Trustee Dianne McGuire made a perplexing Holocaust reference in her defense of the college's slush fund, which according to reports totals tens of millions of dollars.
Directing her statement at what she called “the myriad of extremists, right-wing ideologues, and groups" attempting to discredit COD and its administrators, McGuire quoted German theologian Martin Niemoller: “First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
McGuire has been under fire for months as a series of revelations by Adam Andrzejewski of Open the Books highlighted questionable expenditures approved by the Board of Trustees at COD.
Claiming the taxpayer-funded community college has misspent millions dollars, Andrzejewski argues that "shady bookkeeping and a litany of questionable purchases, including a pricey shooting club membership for the school’s president, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in alcohol purchases accounted for in the books as an ‘instructional supply," proves mismanagement on the part of the Board of Trustees.
“The College of DuPage managed to hide more than $95 million in expenditures on more than 82,600 transactions since 2009 thanks to a peculiar type of accounting that allowed for thousands of purchases to be lumped together into one line item, according to data uncovered by OpenTheBooks.com.
