Students support funding for higher education and U of I

As of the end of February, the state owes the University of Illinois $372 million (we have only received 49.6% of our appropriation)!  The University has already issued mandatory furlough days for faculty and staff and has instituted a hiring freeze.  Without these promised funds from the state, academic quality is at risk.

You can send a form letter or refer to the speaking points provided on the next screen if you would like tips on writing your email.  Thank you!
