Danville, Ill. (ECWd) – According to reports, Danville Area Community College (“DACC”) President, Dr. Stephen Nacco was placed on administrative leave today following alleged abusive and racial text messages sent by him to the Mayor of Danville, Illinois. The incident occurred after Nacco asked the Mayor to sign a letter of support in bringing “undocumented immigrants” to Danville.
