Subject: Higher education in Illinois is at a crossroads

<p>Dear EIU Students:<br />&nbsp;<br />Higher education in Illinois is at a crossroads.</p><p>Illinois public universities are currently educating 200,000 students -- our future leaders.&nbsp; Even though we're well into fiscal year 2016, there's still no higher education budget.</p><p>The stalemate undermines not just universities, but the state's future. After all, an educated workforce is essential to Illinois' long-term economic health. That makes higher education funding a requirement, not a luxury.</p><p>We need to keep sharing our message with our lawmakers.&nbsp; The importance higher education funding must remain on the top of their minds.</p><p>Sign Your Name; Raise Your Voice (link below).</p><p>https://www.change.org/p/illinois-state-house-illinois-state-senate-bruce-rauner-protect-higher-education-in-illinois</p><p>Join students from all nine public institutions in a group effort by signing this statewide petition that urges elected officials to make higher education a priority.</p><p>You can reinforce these efforts by sharing your personal story &mdash; in letters to the editor of your home newspaper &mdash; about how your education is transforming your life.</p><p>As always, we are grateful for your time and support. If you have questions or need guidance, please feel free to contact your EIU Student Government at 217.581.5522.</p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>Shirmeen Ahmad <br />Student Body President<br />海角社区</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
