Is the normal payoff for awarding contracts to friends 10%, 15%, 20% or nothing at all? Who negotiates the amount? How are the subtle and not-so-subtle under-the-table gifts handled? Can the honest citizens fight the system and win? Most of these questions are answered in this revealing book about an educators adventure in overcoming corruption in the founding of a community college in Chicagoland. Dr. Herbert Z. Zeitlins narrative combines Chicagoland history seasons with biographical facts. He was not prepared to deal with Chicago-style politics, board members with political agendas, shady deals, patronage and constant threats in the night. His true story and its effect on his wife and four children is vividly told. With help from concerned citizens, four courageous deans and an alert newspaper editor, he overcame the system. Zeitlins story is designed for students, trustees, educators and concerned taxpayers -- all who need to know what goes on behind closed doors, known as board executive sessions. His book provides valuable information of how to detect and prevent corruption in public education.
