“Annenberg-Gate” – It’s not the crime, it’s the cover up
By Steve Diamond on August 19, 2008 at 6:40 PM in Annenberg Chicago Challenge, Barack Obama, Bill Ayers, Chicago politics, Weather Underground, William Ayers
One comment noted: it’s not the crime, it’s the cover up and now the University of Illinois has provided the cover up.
Ironic, that a public university would attempt to prevent a legitimate author and journalist – with a Ph.D. in Anthropology from Harvard to boot – from accessing documents legitimately housed in their library. Ironic, and possibly illegal.
The flimsy manufactured excuse – most likely provided to the library by the University’s general counsel – is that the University does not have a “deed of gift” which the university contends is required for it to, legitimately, claim possession of the archived material.
Unfortunately, this is a bad reading of the law. The only question to be answered, really, is what was the intent of the donor? Did the donor intend to give the University the thousands of pages of material related to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge? If so, then the gift is perfectly valid, the material belongs to the University and should be made available to researchers (including both journalists and academics). And, the donor could legitimately claim a tax deduction for the donation of the archives.
In fact, the deed of gift is really for the protection of the University, and usually is drafted by them in a standardized form (and that’s why courts can construe ambiguities against the drafter of such a contract – the drafter usually is in a position to draft the contract to protect their interests.)
(Here is how the University of California, for example, explains the process.)
There are several important unanswered questions here.
1) On what basis would a public university, after agreeing to allow Dr. Kurtz access to the Annenberg Challenge archives in its possession, alert the donor of the documents?
The only possible answer is that somewhere along the chain of command someone set off an alarm bell because of the conservative affiliations of Dr. Kurtz.
2) Is it merely coincidence that one of the board members of the Annenberg Challenge was Stanley Ikenberry, a former University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign) President and currently Regent Professor and President Emeritus of the University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign) College of Education?
3) Did the general counsel of the university invent the excuse that absent a “deed of gift” the university could not claim possession of the archives?
4) How could the University make a detailed “finding aid” available to Dr. Kurtz for a collection that it did not legally possess?
Finding aids are detailed outlines of the archival material prepared by a library staff to aid researchers in their work. They are prepared only at the end of the “process” by which donated materials come into the legitimate possession of the library. There would be no reason to prepare a finding aid, now fortunately in the possession of Dr. Kurtz, unless the material was legitimately in the library’s possession.
In fact the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the sister campus to the University of Illinois at Circle Campus Chicago, makes it explicit that it will not invest time in preparing donated material without a valid gift. Its online guidelines state: “The University cannot invest materials and labor in the care of collections which it does not own.” Those guidelines make it clear that the “deed of gift” is for the protection of the University, as I suggested above.
5) What is the role of the successor organization to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, the Chicago Public Education Fund?
Legally, a non profit corporation like the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) has a responsibility to its beneficiaries, the Illinois public. Ultimately it must serve their interests in order to have claimed tax exempt status. Thus, its records must be maintained throughout its life and then handed to its successor. The Attorney General of Illinois has ultimate authority over those records.
When the CAC went out of business it handed its assets, and presumably its records, to the Chicago Public Education Fund (CPEF). Perhaps Susan Crown, who sits on the CPEF board and sat on the board of the CAC with Barack Obama, can explain where the records of the CAC are?
Perhaps Penny Pritzker, whose family foundation donated $100,000 to the CAC and who now also sits on the board of the CPEF, and who also chairs the finance committee of the Obama campaign can explain what has happened to the missing records?
Like Dr. Kurtz, I have conducted archival research on several continents and in dozens of libraries, from London to Managua to Berkeley to Palo Alto, even in Chicago itself, at several of its libraries. I have conducted research on issues as sensitive as the origins of the Manhattan Project to the police state set up by the Sandinistas. And not once have I found a library door closed in my face like this. Not even by the FSLN in Managua itself.
This may explain why I ran into a smaller version of the door in the face from a university recently. As Global Labor readers know I laid out the basic trajectory of the CAC through a review of the CAC’s financial statements, board minutes and annual and semi-annual reports, provided to me by Brown University, which housed the original national Annenberg Challenge. Once I posted my first discussion of what I found in these records, I sent additional requests for information to Brown.
However, while the representative from the university I originally corresponded with had been quite friendly and accommodating prior to my June 23 post, afterwards my additional requests for further information went unanswered. I did not pursue it at the time because I felt I had told a significant part of the story already. Thanks to the diligent work of Dr. Kurtz, however, we now know there is much more to know.
Of course, the larger question here is – why the concern? why the alarm bells? why the cover-up? is it simply because Dr. Kurtz is with National Review, the conservative magazine founded by William F. Buckley? One remaining possibility, of course, is that somehow word that there was interest in the materials was leaked to Bill Ayers, who conceived of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, co-authored the original successful $49.2 million grant proposal, and then co-chaired the key operative body of the CAC, the Chicago School Reform Collaborative. The original CAC offices were housed in the same building as Ayers’ office, rent free courtesy of the University. That was also where Ayers housed his Small Schools Workshop, headed by his old SDS buddy, the Maoist Mike Klonsky, which received a $175,000 grant from, you guessed it, the CAC, whose board was chaired by Barack Obama.
Ayers has been pretty mum of late and maybe quite nervous about the possibility that a close look at the day to day records of the CAC will reveal more about what I have already found out: that he and Barack Obama had a close working relationship during the life of the CAC. The CAC actively and aggressively intervened in a major political war going on in Chicago in the mid 90s over school reform – against the goals of the powerful Chicago mayor, Richard Daley.
Obama’s aim at the time was likely to “make his bones” politically and to establish a relationship with well heeled liberals, all as part of a potential challenge to Daley himself, as a second Harold Washington, one of Obama’s heroes. The cards broke in another direction for Obama, of course, and now he finds himself trying for a slightly more powerful political role.
Unfortunately for Senator Obama, what might only stink in Chicago – a relationship with an ex-terrorist who had an authoritarian agenda in mind for Chicago school kids – is far more damaging on the national political scene.

Just got off a conference call with Clinton delegates that wanted to know “what if” Hillary gets more votes than Obama. Then what?
It is getting very interesting folks.
Do they think that is a real possibility at this point? You’ve got me at the edge of my seat…spill it, Athena!

John McCain now leading 274 to 264 in Electoral College on realclearpolitics.com
The AP is reporting that the donor’s only concern is personal information in the files (SSN, salaries, etc.)
http://preview.tinyurl.com/6b8ygc
Then they throw in this gem regarding Obama calling Hillary out for not disclosing records:
Obama compared her record of public disclosure of records to that of the Bush administration, saying the country had “just gone through one of the most secretive administrations in our history.”
Another b.s. line: the Clintons have released more records than almost any other public figure. BO keeps demanding that others release their records, but he ignores calls to release his own. Where’s your birth certificate Barry?
This is a big deal, I think. I think Bill Ayers is Obama’s Achilles heel. Start circulating this on blogs.
This story just hit the AP one hour ago:

Is this helpful in the least?
The Chicago Annenberg Challenge: The First Three Years
http://ccsr.uchicago.edu/publications/p0b06.pdf
This report is helpful in a general way – it describes some of the controversial content in the Obama-Ayers school reform program. But what Kurtz is after are the official governance records, including in particular minutes that might have been taken in the earliest days of the Annenberg Challenge. These might indicate more about why Ayers backed the selection of Obama for Board Chair of the CAC.
Steve, yes, that one is pretty general. I certainly hope Kurtz can get the goods. AND, you have done such a great job. Really.
How about this?

Oh man, this one has 271 PAGES!
I know the above project is not helpful to this, but sometimes names are dropped out of the blue in articles, papers…funny how that happens.
Hmmm, I wonder what will come of all this.
K, well g’night.
I learned a few things in Diamond’s article tonight. Thank you!
When I search Chicago Annenberg Challenge on Amazon, a lot of books pop up. It is possible Obama is mentioned in one of them, especially the older ones.
http://www.amazon.com/s/qid=1219241917/ref=sr_pg_1?ie=UTF8&rs=1000&keywords=chicago%20annenberg%20challenge&rh=i%3Astripbooks%2Ck%3Achicago%20annenberg%20challenge&page=1
Amazon has a “search inside” feature for some books. I just searched inside “TroubleMaker” and then sub-searched using “Barack Obama” and his name pops up on one page, discussing how he was the 6 year chairman of the board, etc.
I need to sign up with amazon to read more, but I’m just saying that Obama is likely discussed at length or there is SOMETHING likely to be mentioned in one of these books that’s new to us.
This is getting big. Read that AP article people, it’s got good stuff in there.
but it won’t mean much until it’s on TV.
Unbelievable, this is how AP describes Weather Underground:
“espoused violence” instead of: committed acts of violence and terrorism.
“espoused violence” instead of planted a bomb in the car of a federal judge, robbed banks, blew up the Pentagon and murdered two cops.
What? “as a necessity”?
Since when is BOMBING a “necessity”? Holy crap.
Anyway, it hit the AP, and so “The Chicago Annenberg Challenge” is now really out there.
If you even google it, it is on TONS of blogs now.
BOOM baby.
Steve Diamond is the MAN!!!
Not only that…”in his youth”, like it was just some teenage prank!
My God…he was NOT “in his youth”, he was an ADULT of legal age!
Bias rears its ugly head, AGAIN!
Running from justice as a fugitive for years and having your daddy bail you out is immature, but I would hesitate to call to call the WU youthful indiscretion.
The AP is no longer in the mainstream — they have lost credibility.
This story is covered at Huffington Post now:

Story is on GOP.com:
http://www.gop.com/News/NewsRead.aspx?Guid=b1d51b89-bbab-4a5c-b12a-23e81f2994c7
Also, please NOTE, that the AP called Bill Ayers an “education” professor, not an “english” professor, like Obama stated at the PA Debate, and this is important since Bill Ayers is all about “changing” America’s schools. Brrr.
The university is “aggressively pursuing” an agreement with the donor.
What do you want to bet it’s not before Nov. 4th?
“Just got off a conference call with Clinton delegates who wanted to know “what if” Hillary gets more votes than Obama. Then what?”
Very interesting, almost as interesting as Rendell’s carefully planned ‘announcement’ that he would vote Hillary on the first ballot. Now we hear, from the mouth of KO, that Biden is the rumored VP nominee. If this turns out to be the case, Obama is REALLY in trouble because Biden is a hothead with impulse control problems, a shady past and an even shadier family (see his niece’s (?) creepy web-site). Obama’s is really scraping the bottom of the A-list with Biden. If he wanted to get someone with foreign policy experience, why not Hagel or Bayh?
The answer is that Obama needs a ‘fighter’ right now because he’s such a mediocre wimp. Kaine is feisty but he has ‘double-down’ problems, and the other A-list candidates are either ‘non-fighters’ or ‘unavailable’ (read – they support Hillary). Biden won’t help to bring in his own state (Del.) and he’s a classic eastern liberal, which doesn’t fly in the heartland.
Oh well, beggars can’t be choosers.
Lou Dobbs showed Biden saying he’s not the guy.
I think a guy like Biden just highlights BO’s lack of experience; therefore, I really think it will be Kaine.
I must add that I don’t think that’s a wise choice, but what do you expect?
That would be a great choice, that way the DEMS could run a State Senator and a small town mayor as a team.
Times/Bloomberg poll Obama loses 12% points
Experience a key John McCain advantage in new L.A. Times/Bloomberg poll
When last we had a L.A. Times/Bloomberg poll to peruse, the result that stood out (aside from Barack Obama’s 12-percentage point lead over John McCain in a head-to-head match-up) was what we termed the “passion gap” — a marked difference in enthusiasm levels that favored the Democrat in the June survey.
The new, just-released poll not only shows the race between the two dramatically tightening — into a virtual dead heat
http://countusout.wordpress.com/
The new poll may provide Obama some solace …
… on whether he is viewed as “too arrogant or presumptuous” to be president — another theme the McCain camp has been pushing. Asked that question, 35% said yes, 59% said no.
I find this hard to believe. How can ANYONE not see/feel his arrogance–he reeks of it.
And here’s the first electoral map where McCain gets it:
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2008/08/19/oops-mccain-gets-the-electoral-votes/
Once this infanticide thing gains traction, he will not even win California.
There arr no doubt dozens of campaign ending nuggets in the annenberg files pertaining to the Obama Ayers political interface “a guy I know from the ‘hood”!!! a totan straight faced lie by Obama Soetoro!
My fav line from the Obama campaign regarding Ayers was, he’s just a guy from barry’s neighborhood and their kids go to the same school.
The problem being barry’s kids are in elementary school and Ayers kids are in their 20’s.
Ayers kids must be as bright as their father.
What, do Ayers’ sons hang around the playground, drooling or worse, rubbing their hands together with evil glee… or something?
What an asinine assertion! Which desperate acolyte pulled THAT shitty excuse out of their ass?
Selling weed probably.
lol……aaaaand that is primo commie anti crackerimperialsit weeed…..
Sounds like there needs to be a court order to release documents. Is the library a federal respository by any chance? In other words, does the library have a Government Documents section?
Did Annenberg receive any government funding?
Okay, sorry. I had a chance to read the articles. It wouldn’t take a head librarian and a couple of library science majors long to clean out soc sec numbers, etc.
Just like Obama’s COLB, it makes one wonder what little hidden bombs of information might be found.
This is so interesting since it’s only days away from the
coronationcrowningum convention!Steve Diamond:
So what are the next steps being taken; legal or otherwise to obtain those CAC records now??
I believe that Dr. Kurtz is pursuing his right to access those records aggressively.
Hmmm…..since The University of Chicago is not a private University, can’t he file a freedom of Information case in federal court ?
I’ll be interested to see if the possiblity of HRC winning the nomination starts circulating in the MSM. The fact that the Clintons have so much airtime in the convention makes me wonder.
Are you guys cool or what? Thanks. I say again: that Obama campaign is runnind scared. With good reason.
Obama: no, you can’t.
If Obama picks Biden, I can write the Republicans’ ads for them. Remember Biden’s description of Obama in one of the debates? “A noun, a verb, and a speech I gave in 2002″? (Maybe that’s not verbatim, but you get the idea, a take-off on someone’s description of Guilliani, “A noun, a verb, and 9/11″.)
Just so it doesn’t end up being Hillary, I could care less who he chooses, I will never vote for him. But I want her to stay away from the VP nod at all costs. Obama is a petty, vindictive man. He would use her to get votes and then use his power to relegate her to a mindless, ineffective role as VP so that she couldn’t outshine him, which in my estimation she does even while sleeping. Please stay away, Hillary.
Biden did a relevant ad for us back in 1988 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3263101753576034122
That was actually Biden’s description of Giuliani.
He does have a razor tongue when he wants to…only problem with him is, he loves the sound of his own voice.
Now hiring.
Richard J. Daley Library at the University of Illinois.
Ten new FORGER positions.
Only New Democratic Party members may apply.
In lieu of salary, a donation to the Obama campaign will be made in your name.
They’ll probably outsource it to Gaza.
The cover up may be almost as bad as the material at this point. The more lasting questions that are raised about Obama the more he sinks. Kurtz has created an issue here that has many digging. It has also made the Anneberg challenge an issue with legs – it was not before.
Obama has an ace in the hole at the convention: choose hillary as VP. This is the ONLY thing at this point that can unify the party even a little. I would not be at all surprised if the trial balloons going up are a distraction.
Clinton can bring back Ohio which now lean McCain, flip Arkansas and solidify New Mexico. BHO can also make at run at FLA with Clinton on the ticket.
That wins it.
Biden adds nothing. He has no base.He flips no states.
and as a CA. resident I can tell you CA is do-able for McCain at this point. not likely but possible. CA’s BLUE status on the national scene rest entirely with the Clintons. They flipped us. People for the Clintons in Cali are hardcore. With the gay marriage on the ballot the GOP part of the state will be out in force. And this state likes moderate GOPs. An Obama/Biden ticket should win cal but it may not. An Obama/Clinton ticket is an no brainer. McCain won’t even show up here.
The Dems are desperate!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP-0pedQeGw&eurl=
Everyone knew McCain was joking at the Saddleback Forum about the “$5 million.” And in his next sentence, which the Dems conveniently omitted - McCain said…”seriously”…and went on to answer the question.
At least he didn’t avoid answering the question by saying it was “above his pay grade.”
Hmmm…Obama’s “new politics” seem to be based on secrecy, obfuscation and when those fail, downright lying. This will not be lost on American voters. If Obama is nominated, it will ultimately be seen as the policy of the Democrat Party. Sad, very sad.
This is excellent, O-Bomb-em is the terror candidate, the ODM, Orange Democratic Movement of the CIA/MI6 destabilization of Kenya as fits the coup pattern in the Ukraine and Georgia, with funding by Soros & company now against the United States of America. Of course terrorist Ayers’s Weather Underground movement was funded by the Ford Foundation to destroy the left! Of course Ayers would get off free, as his daddy was a big shot with the Rand Corporation, and Billy would then work with such mad scientists to further destroy education in this country at the behest of the evil foundations seeking to control society through their donations to causes that are nothing but fifth column operations against human civilization.
On the VP front, a tip said watch out for Wesley Clark- to add the military muscle to the resume and to make sure that war with Russia and China proceeds.
Be prepared to attack Clark with no quarter, the man who almost started World War 3 with the Russians in the Balkans. Clark is a psychopath, a link between the neocons and the Brzezinski factions, a Democratic hawk, which is not an oxymoron because the Democrats have done a good job of supporting all of Bush’s wars, this includes Hitlery Clinton, who could have fought Bush, but she believes in the lies of 9/11 or she would have gotten an anthrax letter too.

She drives me nuts and this article will drive you nuts.
Obot Theme: Obama is so generous.
Yes, get the barf bags out!
Sorry, it’s OT.
The first part drove me nuts, but the second part seems more reasonable. However, she just had to get her digs in.

Steve Diamond, thank you for your article regarding CAC. I’m interested in reading what you and Dr. Kurtz eventually find out.
No, she’s saying all Obama had to do was step up and pay off their debt. He didn’t do it. And if he had, they would not have muscled their way into the convention.
FROM HILLBUZZ:
Great Merciful Zeus!
Hillary Clinton’s sent up the Bat-signal and has activated all of our secret decoder rings…everyone rush to your secret Hilla-phone and get ready, ’cause our Champ’s up to something tonight.
It might have something to do with the evidence of extreme voter fraud perpetrated by SoetorObama in the caucuses.
It could have something to do with the fact that SoetorObama is clearly losing to McCain in all the polls.
Or, Clinton might just want to talk to us all more about universal healthcare.
But, all of us here at HillBuzz know damn well if Hillary Clinton needs help, or wants help, or gives any secret message TO HELP, we’re off and running, baby.
What is she up to?
Better tune up your secret decoders and find out, because it’s something….BIG.
I’ll give Hillary a ton of money if she wins the nomination.
I won’t vote for her as VP. Sorry Hill. Can’t reward that prick, even if he picks you to get him the White House.
Tell that sleaze ball Soetoro that the should have never been running in the first place and to get out of the race gracefully or go down in history as the biggest loser in Presidential politics ever – he is going to lose every state in the nation. Ask Dean and Pelosi if they care to bet on that. They will be defeated as well. And guess what the Democrats lose the house and Senate back to the GOP. And they deserve it for being money grubbers and not voting or allowing our votes to be counted for the best Candidate up since Bill Clinton.
I’m a PUMA and I’m not voting for BS/BO.
A major reason obviously to withhold the papers from inspection is the minutes of board meetings especially during Obama’s leadership. It allows from tracing Obama’s legislative actions in relationship to the inputs of Bill Ayers et al.
It will also produce variences between the States legislative rulings and those of the Challenge that contradicted State legislation.
The papers also give an audited trail of how the funds were used, some of which possibly were used for forums that included Ayers and Obama that were not part of the Challenges mandates, such as Michelle Obama’s arranged forums in the 1990’s.
I have a question that is off topic. Since I decided to register at my b.o. com a while back to get a peek at what was going on, I have been getting these emails from nigeria about money and wire transfers, stuff like that. I never got them before.
Does anyone else get stuff like that?
Very old scam – its been around for years. Add them to your SPAM list and forget about it.

I would remind readers here that is was largely conservatives – NRO among them – who made a big stink to UC Irvine for initially firing new hire Erwin Chemerinsky and supported him and forced the university to re-hire him as Dean of the new Law School.
You might keep that in mind when you paint conservatives with your brush.
UCI fired him because of his liberal affiliations and views BTW.

Under the Bush administration’s Patriot Act, libraries fought to protect the privacy of citizens, under an Obama administration it looks like the libraries will be fighting the citizens to protect the privacy of Obama!
There is only one way to “Take The Party Back”, and that is to have it crash and burn in November and rise again from the ashes. A McGovern size defeat will dicredit Obama and everyone associated with him. After the fall they must be perged from the party ranks. It must be swift and ruthless.
Any “Uncommitted” Delegate (those pledged through the Primary process are exempt of course) who votes for Obamma in Denver next week must be purged. No Democrat can have the best interest of the party and vote for this disaster of a candidate. Obama, in just the last month, has blown a 15 point lead that even Dennis Kusinage could have held.
Howard Dean and his cohorts need to have this stinking albatross hung around their collective necks and kicked out to the political wastlands to wander while the Loyal Democrats pick up the pieces and rebuild the Democratic Party.
