SPRINGFIELD - The Illinois House of Representatives approved bipartisan legislation this morning to appropriate $600 million for Illinois’ public universities, community colleges and MAP grants for students attending college.
“I am pleased to announce that we have reached a compromise to get much needed funds for SIUE, Lewis & Clark Community College and Southwestern Illinois College,” said Rep. Kay. “This stopgap funding will help keep the doors open at all of Illinois’ universities and community colleges this fall. I applaud this bipartisan effort, I hope this is the beginning of more bipartisan agreements to follow.”
