Senate Sponsors: KARPIEL Short description: H ED-UNIV-AUTOMATIC ADMISSIONS Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends various Acts relating to the governance of the public universities in Illinois. Subject to certain other admission requirements, requires a university to admit an applicant for admission to the university as an undergraduate student if the applicant graduated in one of the 2 school years preceding the academic year for which the applicant is applying for admission from an approved high school with a grade point average in the top 5% percent of the student's high school graduating class. Requires the university, after admitting the applicant, to review the applicant's record and any other factor the university considers appropriate to determine whether the applicant may require additional preparation for college-level work or would benefit from inclusion in a retention program. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Provides that the calculation concerning the number of applicants a university is required to admit shall be based on the openings in the previous year rather than the current year.
