The Continuing War on Higher Education

Today, Chicago State University asked it's students and employees to begin turning in their keys to campus buildings. Due to the Illinois governor vetoing several bills funding higher ed and and the two parties not agreeing on a budget for the year, many public colleges in Illinois are suffering, with the public colleges not receiving any funding for the last 10 months, because apparently party politics is more important than the thousands of students and employees who are facing the cuts, receiving layoff notices, being asked to turn in their keys, being told that the semester is ending early.

This is so unfortunate. Politicians acting like voting with their party is more important than actually getting things done. Now 4,800 students and over 900 employees at Chicago State, and many other students and employees at other Illinois public colleges are being affected by your party politics. Hopefully you Illinois folk vote your governor out in 2018, and a ton of your state house and senate members, whose seats are up for grabs in this year's election. If you didn't think your vote matters before, it certainly does now. Think about all of the employees, the students that this affects. Many of the students who go to Chicago are students of color and students from low socioeconomic statuses. Here, we again see strong inequity in higher education.
