Illinois' public universities need every cent the state has appropriated to them! We join with our partner organizations and advocates through @TransformILHE to urge the state to release the 2% funding. #StopTheHoldUp #TransformILHigherEd @IBHETweets

Illinois' public universities need every cent of what the state has appropriated them! @IBHETweets — #StopTheHoldUp and invest in our students and our state's future! ##TransformILHigherEd

There has been a lot of misinformation being circulated about SB13/HB1581, creating confusion for students, families, communities, colleges, universities, and legislators. It's time to set the record straight. If you haven't done so already, check out @TransformILHE's #data- and research-backed #facts debunking those arguments. #transformILhighered #Allin4HigherEd drive.google.com/file/d/1gcS…

.@ILSenDems @ilhousegop @ILSenateGOP @HouseDemsIL, We know that IL students from every corner of this state want and need SB13/HB1581 passed. We’re counting on you to vote ‘YES’ to their dreams to affordably earn a degree and lead, contribute, and build here. #transformILHigherEd

Historic inequities in public university funding have created access, retention and completion gaps— esp. for students of color, #firstgen and rural students. SB13/HB1581 is the future of fair, just, and sustainable public #highered in IL @HouseDemsIL @ILSenateGOP @ILHouseGOP @ILSenDems. #TransformILHigherEd

Excited to be at @IllinoisStateU for the @TransformILHE final listening session on the urgent need for SB13/HB1581, a public university funding approach that will ensure every IL student can affordably attend college and get the support they need to succeed! #supporthighered #transformILHigherEd

What do you want to say to @HouseDemsIL, @ILSenateGOP, @ilhousegop, @ILSenDems about why it's crucial to invest in #highereducation in #Illinois? Students from the UIC, CSU and WIU answer that and more ⤵️ #TransformILHigherEd youtu.be/B6-W4s_8PvY?feature…

3/3 As we join fellow advocates and @TransformILHE in calling for Congress to protect funding for Illinois #highered, we’re reminding our state lawmakers of the tremendous role in ensuring equitable access to our public institutions, including its 4-year universities.  #SB13 is ready to help IL turn the page on how it funds our public universities – moving the state to an approach that considers the unique needs of institutions and the students they enroll. #transformILHigherEd Learn more: transformhigheredil.org

.@HouseDemsIL @ILSenateGOP @ILHouseGOP @ILSenDems prioritize higher education equity and access because Illinois students have what it takes! Invest the resources needed to ensure college is accessible for each and every one of IL’s students #MapMatters #TransformILHigherEd

1/2 Yesterday’s #DegreesofChange Higher Education Advocacy Day was a success with students and faculty from @WesternILUniv, @ChicagoState, @NEIU & National Louis University joining @StateRepAmmons, @MartinVTorres, and others to call for increased MAP funding and equitable and adequate funding for our #HigherEducation systems. #transformILHigherEd

Last week, we partnered with @WesternILUniv to host one of our "The Time is Now" listening sessions! Thanks to all who came to learn how the Adequate and Equitable Funding Formula for Public Universities Act could impact our #highereducation institutions! #TransformILHigherEd

This week, we were thrilled to join with other members of the Coalition for Transforming Higher Education Funding (@TransformILHE) at @Governors_State for a presentation and discussion on #SB3965 – a historic bill that, if passed and funded, has the power to see thousands more Illinois students earn a college degree from our public universities! Stay tuned for more dates and locations! #TransformILhighered #highered

What do we want? Equity❗️ When do we want it? Now‼️ Some familiar PCC faces speaking at today’s Advocacy Day rally #TransformILHigherEd

Advance Illinois celebrates the recommendations from the Commission on Equitable Public University Funding! Read our full statement on this critical next step to #transformILhighered. bit.ly/49KWLEj #twill #highered

For PCC Student Advisory Council Member Daliyah Sanders, it is clear why equitable distribution of state funds to institutions is so important—the students they serve have diverse needs. #transformILhighered

This spring, our legislature gave a big vote of support for greater college affordability by increasing MAP & institutional funding. But until we fix *how* IL funds its public 4-years, attendance & graduation will be left to chance for many. #transformILhighered

Now is the time @FordLaShawnK @RepKatieStuart & @ThomasMBennett to prioritize IL and our students and increase MAP funding by $100M. #transformILhighered

Now is the time @FordLaShawnK @RepKatieStuart & @ThomasMBennett to prioritize IL and our students and increase MAP funding by $100M. #transformILhighered

MAP funding & state appropriations to our public universities are 2 essential tools for realizing greater college access & affordability. @HouseDemsIL, @ilhousegop, @ILSenDems, @ILSenateGOP, it’s crucial that IL invests in both. #transformILhighered

This spring more than 60 advocates for equity in IL #highered convened online to hear from a college graduate, legislators, and local nonprofit leaders about the need for investments that will expand college access & increase affordability. #advocacyday #transformILhighered
