University of Illinois system President Timothy Killeen said U of I officials requested a 13.2 percent increase in state funding this year over last year, or another $804.4 million. Killeen said Gov. JB Pritzker’s proposed budget called for a 3 percent increase.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Need a 10% cut not not a increase, figure it out!
No one wants to deal with the elephant in the room. Bloated staffs, salaries, pensions and health benefit plans.
Hmm, you identified four causes for the university’s runaway budget … bingo X 4!
