Universities bear brunt of budget cutting in Illinois
Editorial notes that state universities carry a large share of last minute budget cuts. House and Senate reductions totaling about 3.0 million affect Southern Illinois University and University of Illinois, with calls to cut an additional 812,000 from four Teachers College Board universities. The panel admits cuts were hurried and may not reflect the wisest choices. President Mortis warns about enrollment and faculty impacts, while officials question outcomes and urge thorough study.
