A governor-appointed inde- pendent commission found that the university's admissions office had been giving prefer- ential treatment to applicants with powerful connections, according to the article. The existence of a so-called "clout list" was first uncovered by the Chicago Tribune in May. The university's president, B. Joseph White, resigned last month. According to the Times, the report "cited several instances in which Mr. Herman lobbied successfully on behalf of politi- cians to have certain students admitted, including honoring a request by Rod R. Blagojevich, the indicted former governor."

The event coincided with Ramadan, an Islamic holiday during which observers are forbidden from eating after sunrise and before sunset. To raise money and fight hunger, a dollar was donated to the Capi- tal Area Food Bank of Texas for each person who pledged to fast, The Daily Texan reported.
