Saint Xavier cites state budget crisis for Gilbert closing - Donna Vickroy, Daily Southtown

Illinois' anniversary of when it began operating without a comprehensive state budget is next month. With no end in sight, the fallout continues. The impasse is affecting people across the state and even some as far away as Arizona. Recently, officials at Saint Xavier University in Chicago announced that because of the funding uncertainty in Illinois, specifically the state's inability to deliver on promised grant money to low-income students, they would close a newly opened satellite campus in Gilbert, Ariz., at the end of the fall semester. http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/daily-southtown/news/ct-sta-saint-xavier-arizona-folo-st-0621-20160620-story.html
