With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too

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.
too bad they actually really really suck at playing football (I say this as an alum)
BLM– If cops did not shoot unarmed black men this movement would not be happening.
Were you mistreated by a cop? Yah? No? ?
Lol
My oldest son went out of state to Ohio State University….he decided to leave this crazy looney left state of IL…can’t blame him. Can’t wait to see Ohio State demolish Univ of Illinois. Maybe they (IL) should focus on playing football and leave the woke slogans to the mob….
After last nights embarrassment, it seems that the Illini should have spent more time focusing on football than thinking about what kind of cute things to do to their helmets. They have no more right to express their opinion than any other American, That they do on a prominent stage, and then show they don’t belong on that stage is so typical. Nice job Josh and Lovie. I enjoyed watching real athletes crush these imposters. And all my kids are Illini.
I guess they couldn’t learn from watching pro sports implode…
They have to find out for themselves…
Kneeling, fists and slogans won’t change a thing, in Black communities. ?
As a Black whose extended families and myself lived in Chicago’s Lawndale, Garfield Park and Austin communities (1950s-2010s), when those communities were White, Integrated and Black, I know BLM is another scam. ?
More monies and government programs won’t work either, including Model Cities (1960s), Urban Renewal (1970s) and Empowerment Zones (1990s). ?
The iron fist with a velvet glove. More socialism.
So a note to alumni of the U of I, stop donating money, dont attend football, basketball games ever again (if ever allowed again), stop buying merchandise and encouraged your kids to find a different college or university. What we are seeing is racism disguised as a phony social reform against whites.
Your tax dollars at work.
Defund all universities that have gone off the cliff.
I don’t think there are many that haven’t. And the ones that haven’t don’t take government money.
All sold out to the Chinese. Could U of I even operate without Chinese students? No
There are significantly more blacks than whites…why isn’t there affirmative action for whites then ? Based on this logic…
