Illinois "Higher Education" Cost Gets Higher - Again


The University of Illinois plans to raise tuition by 60 percent over five years to meet budgetary needs. Students also must pay a $250-per-semester fee to cover "routine maintenance".

Every state college in Illinois has raised tuition rates and fees. Illinois Board of Higher Education spokesman Don Sevener has said, "It looks like a significant increase, but spread over four years is really a pretty modest year-by-year increase."

Ahem.

We must wonder if Mr. Sevener has any kids attending college.
