What does the crisis mean? - Gregory Royal Pratt, Chicago Flame
Public higher education is at risk: if we continue down this path of diminished state funding, the University of Illinois will become a de facto private school. The poor in Chicago will lose out on affordable and accessible higher education. Future students will have to pay more money for less quality and fewer options. One thing to keep in mind is that much damage has already been done. The University of Illinois will feel the state's inaction to this point for a few years, at least. But the worst is yet to come if the state does not begin to meet its obligations.
