SPRINGFIELD Ill AP Democrats on the Senate Appropriations Committee trimmed higher education requests but did not meet Gov. Ogilvie’s target. The panel reduced the Illinois Board of Higher Education request from 866 million to 711 million and approved 1.2 billion in public aid.

Other board colleges also faced reductions, including 18.4 million from 123.5 million for institutions under the governor’s board. Southern Illinois University campuses faced reductions from 126.7 million to a lower figure.

Rep Martha Griffiths warned the measure risks cities bargaining for higher pay as the federal funds flow.
