About the bill:
The vast majority of colleges and universities spend most of their resources on their students’ education, but a few institutions instead aggressively recruit students while spending little on instruction. This tactic gives these colleges an unfair advantage in recruiting students over institutions that invest in education, and their spending priorities negatively impact students, particularly students from low-income families, students of color, and women.  

SB 3151/HB 49 addresses this gap in spending by setting a minimum instructional spending requirement, so that all Illinois degree-granting institutions spend at least one-third of their tuition and fee revenue on student instruction. Doing so will ensure institutions don’t prioritize their bottom lines over the quality
of teaching and learning, help protect student borrowers from predatory colleges, improve transparency in higher education, and help put Illinois' colleges and universities on a level the playing field.
