Sign this petition to demand that the State of Illinois pay its debt to higher education.

Springfield has been in arrears with its payments to the state of Illinois higher education system. As of today it has only paid 4 \% of its total commitments for this fiscal year.

Meanwhile, the universities and colleges have had to cut faculty salaries, increase class sizes, raise tuition, cut basic services because the state has refused to pay the bills.

Enough is enough! We all have to pay our bills, and so does the state.
If you value higher education, please sign this petition!
