Higher Education: Collateral Damage in the Budget Battle
The Center for Tax and Budget Accountability is hosting a series of panel discussions across the state examining Illinois’ budget cuts to higher education. Overall, state funding for Higher Education in FY2016 was cut by $1.318 billion or 67.9% from FY2015 levels. CTBA is proud to be partnering with local organizations in each of the communities we are visting. Please join our distinguished panel at a location near you to learn how the budget cuts to higher education have impacted universities, local businesses and communities.
