IVCC faculty pledge support to stave off cuts - Kevin Solari, News Tribune

Warning that budget decisions reflect Illinois Valley Community College’s values, the faculty union addressed the board of trustees at Thursday’s meeting. “If, as we are told, drastic measures are necessary to stave off a huge budget shortfall, and since the choice of what to cut and what to continue funding reflects the college’s values, the faculty are ready and waiting for a sincere invitation from the administration and the Board to help explore creative emergency measures to get through these extremely challenging times,” Illinois Federation of Teachers local president Steve Alvin read from a prepared statement. http://www.newstrib.com/news/ivcc-faculty-pledge-support-to-stave-off-cuts/article_9178eef8-d9c4-11e6-a4df-23bb225fd49c.html
