30 ILCS 769/ Private Colleges and Universities Capital Distribution Formula Act.

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 25-10. Distribution.

This Act creates a distribution formula for funds appropriated from the Build Illinois Bond Fund to the Capital Development Board for  the Illinois Board of Higher Education for grants to various private colleges and universities.

Funds appropriated for this purpose shall be distributed by the Illinois Board of Higher Education through a formula to independent colleges that have been given operational approval by the Illinois Board of Higher Education as of the Fall 2008 term.  The distribution formula shall have 2 components: a base grant portion of the appropriation and an FTE grant portion of the appropriation.  Each independent college shall be awarded both a base grant portion of the appropriation and an FTE grant portion of the appropriation.

The Illinois Board of Higher Education shall  distribute moneys appropriated for this purpose to independent colleges based on the following base grant criteria: for each independent college reporting between 1 and 200 FTE a base grant of $200,000 shall be awarded; for each independent college reporting between 201 and 500 FTE a base grant of $1,000,000 shall be awarded; for each independent college reporting between 501 and 4,000 FTE a base grant of $2,000,000 shall be awarded; and for each independent college reporting 4,001 or more FTE a base grant of $5,000,000 shall be awarded.

The remainder of the moneys appropriated for this purpose shall be distributed by the Illinois Board of Higher Education to each independent college on a per capita basis as determined by the independent college's FTE as reported by the Illinois Board of Higher Education's most recent fall FTE report.

Each independent college shall have up to 5 years from the date of appropriation to access and utilize its awarded amounts.  If any independent college does not utilize its full award or a portion thereof after 5 years, the remaining funds shall be re-distributed to other independent colleges on an FTE basis.
