We agree with Rep. Norma Hernandez & Jennifer Juárez (@latinopolicyforum.org) that the future of our state depends on ensuring every student who aspires to earn a degree has a real opportunity to do so. SB13/HB1581 can help #TransformILHigherEd & make that opportunity possible. hubs.la/Q046pnvn0
More state funding for universities is an investment in Illinois' future
A college degree remains elusive for many Illinoisans. A new proposed funding formula would help produce more graduates and boost economic activity in the state.
