The state budget proposed today by Gov. JB Pritzker would provide a 2.7 percent increase in state-appropriated general operating funds for the University of Illinois System, increasing the system’s general funds appropriation to $730.1 million for the coming fiscal year. The proposal represents a continuation of the vital reinvestment our state and Gov. Pritzker have made in recent years in public higher education.

As part of the necessary plumbing infrastructure renovation project scheduled to begin this summer in the Public Affairs Center, Facilities & Services is working in collaboration with multiple campus partners to ensure a smooth transition process in operations. From June 2025 to September 2026, several units currently located in the PAC will temporarily pause or relocate their operations to other campus spaces due to the drilling and pipe excavation activities.

Today, February 14, is the final day to register for March crowdfunding opportunities (Faculty and Staff Campaign and March 19-20 Day of Giving).

These are tremendous opportunities to raise funds and promote your unit, program, or project to our greater UIS community, including faculty and staff, alumni, and friends. 

Our 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) partner, Duo, is reporting issues with SMS (text messaging) delivery of passcodes. Duo has identified the cause of the issue and is working to restore SMS service. 

Duo Push notifications are not affected, and individuals are encouraged to utilize this option as it is the most secure and convenient while we wait for service to be restored.
