Illinois governor pushing legislation allowing community colleges to offer bachelor degree program

A ton of stuff. Community colleges are typically located with good commuter access, offer classes outside of normal business hours, have open admissions, and don’t have to subsidize large research departments or typically have to support the cost of onsite residential buildings.

I mean, it would also be good to see the cost of in-state tuition at state universities come down, but community colleges fill a different niche and the primary reason they didn’t offer bachelors before was lack of demand, but that has now changed.
