A commission created by Illinois Senate Joint Resolution 88, and comprised of legislators, academic finance experts and a cross-section of educators, business, labor and nonprofit leaders is to hold its first of five meetings on July 27th.
Charged with studying higher education finance in Illinois and recommending options to the Illinois General Assembly, the Higher Education Finance Study Commission will also look to "evaluate funding for Illinois higher education and compare it to peer states and institutions around the nation" and "develop a funding strategy that connects state appropriations, tuition policies and need-based student aid".
