Illinois Board Accepts Lower Budget For Higher Education
The Illinois Board of Higher Education reluctantly approved a $1.23 billion plan for next year, down from a $1.28 billion proposal. Gov Thompson cuts about $50 million amid weaker state revenues, with raises lowered to 8 percent July and 2 percent January for faculty. The board notes public support for broader cuts and taxes, and warnings about hiring freezes and heavier workloads for faculty as enrollments stay steady or grow. Protests from students accompany the meeting.
