To Speak At Northwestern University<BR>Former Governor To Discuss Ethics With
Faculty, Take Questions From Students<BR><BR>EVANSTON, Ill. (CBS) &#8213;
Students at Northwestern University will get<BR>a chance to ask Rod
Blagojevich questions next week, when the disgraced<BR>former governor speaks
to faculty and students at an event titled "Ethics<BR>in Politics: An evening
with Former Governor Rod Blagojevich."<BR><BR>The event, sponsored by
Northwestern's College Democrats, will be held at<BR>7 p.m. March 2 at Cahn
Auditorium in Evanston, according to the student<BR>newspaper, The Daily
Northwestern.<BR><BR>"A conversation about ethics and politics is important to
have," Dan<BR>Rockoff, vice president of programming for College Democrats
told the<BR>newspaper. "There isn't a better person out there to discuss this
than<BR>former Governor Rod Blagojevich."<BR><BR>Rockoff said corruption was a
major issue during the Illinois primary<BR>election earlier this month,
especially because four of the last eight<BR>Illinois governor have been
indicted, including Blagojevich.<BR><BR>Blagojevich is scheduled to go on
trial this summer on federal corruption<BR>charges. He is charged with
substantive racketeering, attempted extortion<BR>of a U.S. Congressman,
bribery of Children's Memorial Hospital and a<BR>racetrack executive, and
other charges, mostly related to his alleged<BR>attempt to sell President
Barack Obama's U.S. Senate seat.<BR><BR>Blagojevich will be given 15 minutes
to plead his case to a panel of<BR>Northwestern faculty members, including a
law professor, a political<BR>science professor and a journalism
professor.<BR><BR>After he speaks to the faculty panel, students will have a
chance to ask<BR>Blagojevich questions.<BR><BR>"Our belief is that students at
Northwestern are interested in debating<BR>this issue," Rockoff said. "They
will be interested to see this kind of<BR>dialogue."<BR><BR>An invitation to
the event has been posted on Facebook and as of Tuesday<BR>afternoon, 475
people had responded they were planning to
attend.<BR><BR>------------------<BR><BR>Deposed Gov. Rod Blagojevich just
after arriving at the Dirksen Federal<BR>Courthouse to be arraigned on a new
indictment. He pleaded not guilty.<BR><BR><A
