SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WAND) — Several Illinois Senators came together to discuss their concerns with higher education funding.

Senators Tom Bennett (R-Gibson City), Chapin Rose (R-Mahomet), Dale Fowler (R-Harrisburg), and Terri Bryant (R-Murphysboro) shared their opinions regarding regarding a proposed funding formula from the Illinois Department of Higher Education.

They’re calling for a subject matter hearing on the plan that was revealed last month. Among their concerns are federal funding, civil rights violations, and an increase in spending.
