Rod Blagojevich urged SIU to let 2 into law school

The Chicago Tribune reports:

Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich sent two letters of recommendation on behalf of applicants to Southern Illinois University's law school, the university said Friday after a search of its admissions records in response to a federal subpoena.

The university, based in Carbondale, said it discovered the 2005 letters but found that neither applicant was admitted to the law school.
