History
The College of DuPage was established after the Illinois General Assembly adopted the Community Community Community Act of 1965 and the approval of the DuPage high school district voters in a referendum. The college opened on September 25, 1967, under the leadership of College president, Rodney K. Berg, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees George L. Seaton. At that time, classes were held in office trailers and leased suburban sites in the newly established Community College District 502. As students, faculty and staff had to drive from building to building for class, the Kaparal was adopted as a mascot school. That year, The Courier , the school student newspaper, published its first edition.
In 1968, the location of the Glen Ellyn campus was acquired. A year later, three temporary buildings were built west of Lambert Road in Glen Ellyn. Berg Instructional Center, the first permanent building on campus, opened in 1973. WDCB, a public radio station owned by a college, was founded in 1977. Harold D. McAninch was appointed president of both universities in 1979. In 1982, began publishing Prairie Light Review literature magazine. The Student Resource Center (SRC) and the Center for Physical Education and Recreation opened in 1983.
The McAninch Arts Center was built in 1986. In 1990, the Seaton Computing Center was built and housed in computer-grade classrooms for Computer Information Systems, Computers and Internet Working Technology, and the Office Information Technology program. A year later, the campus opened a new campus location in Naperville and Westmont, Illinois.
Michael T. Murphy became the third president of college in 1994. In 2002, voters approved a referendum of $ 183 million worth of bonds that provided funds to renovate and rebuild the Glen Ellyn campus and off-campus locations. Funds from the referendum are used to build the Center for Homeland Security Education, Student Services Center, and Culinary & amp; Hospitality Center. In 2003, Dr. Sunil Chand replaces Murphy as college president. That year, the College expanded with the opening of Bloomingdale Independent Learning Center. The Carol Stream Community Education Center opened in 2004 and the West Chicago Community Education Center in 2005. In the fall of 2005, the College of DuPage was transformed from a quarter system into a semester system.
In 2006, the College of DuPage and Indian Prairie District 204 created the Frontier Campus, a magnet school for the District 204 senior and an additional regional college center. Early Childhood College centers and new campus roads and parking lots were completed in 2007. The following year, the College received a maximum of seven years of re-accreditation through the Association of Central Colleges and the North American Commission at Higher Education Institutions.
In May 2008, the school board unexpectedly took off the college presidency, Sunil Chand. Faculty members and students protested the November 2008 council meeting to adopt the conservative "Bill of Human Rights" conservative activist David Horowitz, who controlled the curriculum from the teacher and gave it to the school board. The faculty association sent a letter to the board noting that the changes were never discussed and no complaints over the curriculum had been submitted by the students.
In January 2009, Dr. Robert L. Breuder became president of college. The Center for Health and Science and the Center for Technical Education opened the summer at the Glen Ellyn campus. The Engineering Education Center is 178,000 square feet (16,500 m2) and houses Automotive Technology, HVAC/ELMEC, Architecture, Horticulture, and Interior Design programs, and in a new steel, glass and concrete panel building on the west side of the campus. The building is awarded the LEED Silver certification and is designed to support horticulture, construction trade, architecture, interior design, construction management, and automotive technology.
In May 2016, Dr. Ann Rondeau was elected the sixth President of the College of DuPage.
The 475,000 sq ft (44,100 m2) BIC Renovation (phase one completed 2011), and (phase two finish 2012) and the 65,000 sq. Ft (6,000 m2) Student Service Center (completed 2011) including faculty reorganization and department administration, expanded student command, updated classrooms and laboratories. The addition of a new Student Service Center now connects SRC and BIC with an overt natural commons, a new coffee shop and 'one-stop-shop' student service offices and operations. Renovations and Student Service Centers replaced the deteriorating BIC exterior with new modern panels and glass exteriors and bright interior spaces. The transfer of classes to BIC allows the construction of the next phase of the expansion of the Center for Homeland Security Education on the west side of the campus.
The Center for Culinary and Hospitality (CHC) completed 2011. This house has a kitchen and bakery, a six-room boutique hotel run by hospitality program students, two publicly-opened gourmet restaurants, culinary amphitheater, and University Multimedia department.. Waterleaf, one of two campus restaurants, accommodates 150 people.

The College of DuPage has special funds for administrators called "imprest funds." Any purchases made from funds under $ 15,000 are not subject to public disclosure or review by the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board reportedly failed to review the itemized receipt for the $ 26 million expenses that the college administrator had spent 16 months on. In October 2014, The Washington Times awarded COD the "Golden Hammer Award," which was awarded for waste, fraud and abuse, in response to the management of these funds.
In 2014, COD President Robert Breuder sent an email to the campus guardian asking them to file a justification that would allow the Illinois State 'to disburse a $ 20 million grant previously approved by the legislature. In an email, Breuder proposes to link the disbursed fund with a $ 50 million teaching and learning center. The incident of appropriation and email Breuder leads to an editorial on the so-called "Chicago Tribune" episode, "... little money taken by officials at the College of DuPage."
In January 2015, the supervisory board voted to give President COD Robert Breuder $ 763,000, defined as a retirement package. The Chicago Tribune writes that "some guardians now recognize that the purchase was negotiated to terminate Breuder's contract, which has been secretly extended until 2019." A spokeswoman from the Illinois Governor's office Bruce Rauner said the government had overseen the whole voting process carefully and had informed the Illinois Community College Board, the state's top college community authority.
In December 2015, the Higher Learning Commission placed COD on probationary accreditation, due to concerns about "operating with the integrity and governance of Higher Education."
