Prairie State trustees denounce state funding for community colleges
Prairie State College Board of Trustees denounces the Illinois proposed budget for not including community college funding. They note the overall higher education increase omits PSC needs and call out the modest 15.5 percent increase in student financial aid, which they say benefits state universities and private institutions rather than community colleges. The board also faults the 3 percent faculty raise and the $86.4 million operating increase, arguing PSC would receive only about 10 percent of that rise while state universities gain 81 percent.
