Illinois State University President Larry Dietz says it's beyond time for an end to the state budget impasse.
Speaking during GLT's Sound Ideas, Dietz said some state government leaders may be under the impression something "bad" hasn't happened on college campuses across the state. He was referring to the lack of agreement on funding for the Monetary Award Program for low-income students.
But Dietz says a missing budget is already devastating to colleges and universities that rely on state funding to provide a quality education.
