Thomas E. McClure Pro Bono Fund
The Thomas E. McClure Pro Bono Fund was established in 2021 to support the Department of Politics and Government Legal Studies Program's Expungement Clinic (Clinic) and other pro bono activities associated with the Program. Eligible expenses include, but are not limited to salaries, travel costs, and other expenses connected to pro bono opportunities the Program provides for Illinois State University students. In the event, the Program neither operates a pro bono clinic nor requires funding for other pro bono opportunities that the Program provides for its students, the income generated by the Pro Bono Fund will be used to provide an annual award to a Department faculty member who demonstrates a strong commitment to service to the Department, his or her profession, and/or the community. The responsibilities for the selection of award recipients and distribution of funds will be assigned to the Chair of the Department.
