Cuts in funding for higher education proposed by Gov. Bruce Rauner would be detrimental to the state’s future, Governors State University President Elaine P.

GSU became a four-year university this school year, and the number of credit hours taught at the school has increased by 10.4 percent over five years, the highest growth rate in the state for a public university, Maimon said.
