#CutsMeanUs

“Budget Cuts mean less funding and less progress”

“Budget Cuts mean less research being applied to the community”

Many students rely on student jobs as a way to support themselves while they’re going to school.

Budget cuts mean student jobs and student livelihoods.

Budget Cuts Mean reduced financial aid for students. #CutsMeanUs

Budget Cuts Mean Us- Our opportunities, our jobs, our University. 

Reducing MAP grants and other financial aid is still being considered by the University as a way to weather the cuts.

Spreading the word

Research funding from the University will come under serious pressure if these cuts go through.

Even this Illini Service Dog wanted to contribute

Budget cuts affect everyone at the University. So glad to see students across the quad speaking out last Friday.

“Budget Cuts Mean that as an academic professional I must triage my time and resources. This means that students, faculty and staff may not the the quality of support they deserve”

As a First Generation, African American Student at the University of Illinois, I have enjoyed everything the university has had to offer me. I believe these budget cuts will put a limit on the unique experiences I've gained so far. Many interesting classes in every academic department are being cut and I believe that is putting a cap on the cultural experiences every student on this campus should be receiving. Ultimately, these cuts will hinder future students from creating their own unique experiences that I have had the chance to create myself.
