U Of Illinois' President Says Lack Of State Budget Could Be A Problem Soon - Jim Meadows, WUIS

The University of Illinois is getting by with no new state funding, as the budget impasse continues in Springfield. U of I President Timothy Killeen says they can continue this way for a few more weeks --- but after that, there could be trouble. Three months into his new position as president of the University of Illinois, Timothy Killeen says the controversies facing the university haven’t slowed down work on a multi-year “strategic vision.” In the meantime, Killeen says the university is dealing with its immediate problems, from the departure of its Urbana campus chancellor to a gap in state funding due to the budget impasse in Springfield. http://wuis.org/post/u-president-says-lack-state-budget-could-be-problem-soon
