Prairie State College decries state funding for community colleges
Prairie State College trustees blast the 1994 Illinois budget as inequitable for community colleges in a letter to Governor Edgar. They compare funding levels, noting 65 percent of public higher education students are served by community colleges while state dollars favor universities. The board also accepted the resignation of Donald Story, former Matteson police chief, to become director of Corporate Security for Equity Property and Development. They approved transfers of excess funds, a trust with Beverly Bank for the Learning Resource Center, and a $1,466,000 wire to the trust for an $8 million project with 25 percent college share.
