Although the University of Illinois holds the complete records of the Annenberg Challenge, the Annenberg Institute at Brown University in Providence, RI houses a sub-set of the national Annenberg Challenge program that was set up in 1993 by a gift of $500 million from Walter Annenberg.
A summary and discussion of these records can be found at: http://globallabor.blogspot.com/2008/08/behind-annenberg-gate-inside-chicago.html
Although most of his charitable donations have been sound this “Challenge” has been rife with administrators lining their pockets with millions of dollars that were either not accounted for or covered by dishonest accounting. Ayers and Obama administering $50 million plus matching gifts totaling about half again more was a crime waiting to happen. It is no wonder that the Daley Library (named after another crook) and now Brown University seek excuses for not releasing public information. No coincidence that this is occurring just before the Dem convention.
