The Illinois General Assembly has introduced legislation that is a detriment to all Illinois public community colleges and public universities. The status of these “reforms” will be discussed along with the impact on faculty, staff and administrators.

Where do we go from here? How do we turn legislators and the general public into supporters of public higher education?
