The College of DuPage isn't the only community college outside Chicago facing scrutiny over its ethics. The Chicago Tribune reported that South Suburban College has been awarding no-bid contracts to companies whose leaders or owners are on the board of the college's foundation. For example, Cindy Doorn, the foundation's vice president, has a plant and landscaping company that has done $343,000 in business with the college. Foundation officials said that there was nothing wrong with no-bid contracts because the companies have done good work.
