Bad Grades for Public Higher Education in Illinois
What would you do if your kid brought home a report card with these grades?
Although Illinois has some of the best public universities in the world, a report card released by the Student Impact Project gives the state some poor grades in a few areas.
The report grades cost of tuition, spending per student, tuition burden on families, state aid to students and education as a state priority. Additionally, the report card highlights the staggering average student loan debt in Illinois.
Take a look at the report card to see the grades Illinois earned (not all are bad), and imagine your reaction if your kid brought home marks like this.
