3 Decline in State Support Adjusted for inflation, there has been a 34.3% decline in Illinois state funding for higher education since FY00 For SIUE, there has been a $14m reduction since FY02 For SIUE, state support has fallen from 70% in FY02 to 40% in FY14 of our state dollars

4 The Problem of Tuition Increases Student debt is over $1 trillion 61% consider higher education to be of fair or poor value 85% say high cost is an obstacle to earning a degree At SIUE, a 130% tuition increase would be needed to offset the loss of state revenue for this year alone! SIUE has the 2 nd lowest tuition in Illinois
