ISU trustees upset over inequitable funding - LENORE SOBOTA, Pantagraph

Members of the Illinois State University board of trustees think the school is not getting its fair share of state dollars and intend to get more vocal about it. Speaking before a vote to increase tuition and fees, board chairman Rocky Donahue said Illinois State University gets the lowest amount of state appropriations per full-time-equivalent student out of every public university in the state. The statewide average is $6,579 per student while ISU receives $3,551, he said. At the University of Illinois, the per-student state appropriation is $7,047, he added. http://www.pantagraph.com/news/local/education/isu-trustees-express-anger-over-inequitable-funding/article_2a54e79e-a83b-517c-9fd6-9ef594f55e1e.html
