Universities push for funds despite budget constraints
The push targets a July 1 start with a $500 million maintenance shortfall for the state universities. SIU aims to curb inflation effects and cap tuition rises, while the governor’s budget office deems requests impractical due to overall funding gaps. House members argue priorities should shift as Illinois reports a $750 million 2008 deficit.
