Service is a cornerstone of our mission, using our vast expertise to help Illinois prosper and repay our citizens for the generous support that has made the U of I one of the world’s most distinguished universities.
Our just-released Illinois Report 2012 is a perfect example.
Produced by the Institute of Government and Public Affairs, the report provides informed, non-partisan research and analysis from faculty experts to help guide policymakers as they work to solve the state’s toughest challenges.
This year’s sixth annual report covers a host of critical public policy issues, including the state’s ongoing budget crisis, public pension reform, and the long-term impact of a shift that has seen the Illinois Latino population grow by 33 percent over the last decade. The full report is available on the IGPA website (http://igpa.uillinois.edu/IR12/)
My thanks to our distinguished IGPA team and the experts from our three campuses who share their talents to help lead Illinois to a new era of growth, achievement and progress.
