Simon’s college initiatives merit a serious look
More must be done to help affordability
Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon is leading an initiative to make college more affordable.
It’s an admirable effort, and the good news is that colleges and universities claim they are already doing many of the things Simon labeled as “game-changing reforms” and “innovative practices in Illinois higher education.”
Simon held a series of College Affordability Summits last fall at the state’s 12 public universities, including Illinois State University in Normal and Eastern Illinois University in Charleston.
