Illinois Higher Education FY'14 Budget Update - Western Illinois University

On March 6, Governor Pat Quinn presented his public address and recommended a Fiscal Year 2014 operating budget of $49.6 million for Western Illinois University, which will result in a $2.5 million decrease from Western's FY'13 state appropriations (and a $10.3 million decrease since FY'10). Governor Quinn's complete Fiscal Year 2014 budget proposals can be found at www2.illinois.gov/gov/budget/Pages/BudgetBooks.aspx (Western Illinois University, Section 6-287). While the legislature will hold hearings next month on state appropriations, and will present its version of a FY'14 budget, it is clear we will be facing another challenging year. http://www.wiu.edu/news/newsrelease.php?release_id=10598
