I live in Illinois and work for a state university and have family members in state politics. I acknowledged that the state has expressed interest in focusing on in state students, BUT not in Computer Science or Engineering. The state is a mess. 8 months without a budget. Universities aren’t getting paid. Most of the state universities are laying off employees and cutting programs. U of I is no exception. If you think the fact that they get more money from out of state and international students doesn’t play a roll, you obviously don’t live in Illinois.
