About Check CU

This non-profit site was established to aid in disseminating information about relevant issues in the Champaign-Urbana area.  Transparency and access to public records is paramount to functioning government and since the public bodies within CU are failing in that regard, civilians must do the work.  If you have files or documents that are of public interest, please consider sending them to Check CU so that we can make them publicly accessible.
