Illinois Universities Watching Budget Situation Closely

Illinois' state universities could get new salt in their wounds. 
 
The Higher Learning Commission warns lawmakers that a continued lack of funding could lead to public colleges and universities being stripped of their accreditation. Southern Illinois University System President Randy Dunn talks about the consequences.
 
 
Dunn says universities don't just need cash, they need answers.
 
 
The commission is concerned because the lack of a budget has sparked increased tuition, delays in state grants, layoffs and canceled capital projects.
