HIGHER ED-SURVEY/BD/REPORT
February 4, 2026
Summary
If enacted, this bill would amend Illinois higher education laws to change survey topics, remove a start date requirement for student board members, and modify academic major report requirements. Specifically, it would require reports to include average monthly student loan payment over 10 years (down from 20) and the percentage of graduates continuously employed with the same employer for three consecutive fiscal quarters, replacing the average job placement rate metric. The bill applies to Illinois public universities and the Board of Higher Education.
