(CBS News) The University of Illinois has hired 1970s-era member of the revolutionary group, the Symbionese Liberation Army, James Kilgore to teach a course next semester.
The group known as the SLA was responsible for kidnapping of heiress Patty Hearst in Berkeley, and the murder of Oakland school superintendent Marcus Foster. Kidnap victim Hearst participated in the SLA’s 1975 robbery of the Hibernia Bank in San Francisco during which a housewife died. She was later pardoned.
