Senator Donne Trotter, although cautiously optimistic, stressed that this is a temporary measure and that the fight continues. He stated: “Chicago State, in my own backyard, would be on the brink of closure without this funding. I am glad that my Republican counterparts, and hopefully the governor, are finally on board with helping students graduate.”
