The University of Illinois is officially done with the case of Steven Salaita, the professor whose job offer there was rescinded last year. As Illinois Public Radio's Hannah Meisel reports, the U of I's board of trustees approved a settlement this week that marks the end of an expensive and tense period for the school.

Hannah covers state government and politics for NPR Illinois and Illinois Public Radio. She previously covered the statehouse for The Daily Line and Law360, and also worked a temporary stint at the political blog Capitol Fax in 2018.
