Area college presidents had a blunt message for the Illinois Senate Higher Education Committee on Monday: Pass a budget soon. Leaders from Eastern Illinois University, Lake Land College, Illinois State University and Danville Community College explained at a committee hearing in Charleston that the lack of a budget is creating a dire situation. Without state aid supporting regular operations as well as specific programs such as the Monetary Award Program, the colleges will face disastrous situations, the officials told committee members. http://herald-review.com/news/local/education/college-chiefs-voice-budget-alarm/article_af83258c-20a7-5224-a1d6-9159e429d3b5.html
