Illinois House narrowly defeats university board overhaul plan
A Democratic controlled panel rejected a bill to replace the Illinois Board of Governors and the Board of Regents with local boards for GSU and six of the 12 campuses. Republicans vow to refile. The proposal, backed by Gov. Edgar and Lt. Gov. Kustra, would cut costs by about 1 million annually but opponents warn of higher costs. The umbrella Illinois Board of Higher Education would remain.
