New Illinois budget lists $500,000 to closed Lincoln College – WICS (Springfield)

Lincoln College has been closed since the spring semester of 2022. State Sen. Sally Turner explained that the money has been part of the budget since 2018 and continues to roll over due to its inclusion in a previously passed law. When asked why a private college would receive state funding, Turner speculated it might be intended "for the betterment of the people."
