Football Sectional Final Preview: Division 6

Kenosha St. Joseph won a state title last year, but it came in Division 7, as the Lancers were elevated to D6 this year by the WIAA’s Tournament Performance Factor. That alone creates challenges, and last week the team got a tough test from a game Cuba City squad that comes out of the always-competitive SWAL. With the help of a huge multi-faceted performance from Christopher Kenesie, St. Joe’s won 28-21 in a game that was tied heading into the fourth quarter.

UIC sets enrollment record as U.S. college confidence falls

As doubts about the value of higher education grow nationally, the University of Illinois Chicago is doubling down on affordability and student support and reports record enrollment for the second consecutive year. The university enrolled more than 37,000 students this fall, the highest enrollment in its history. Undergraduate numbers among Illinois residents increased nearly 7%. Marie Lynn Miranda, chancellor of the university, said it reflects a commitment to making college accessible while helping students graduate and secure good jobs. One program covers tuition and mandatory fees for eligible students from families earning $75,000 or less. More than half of this fall’s incoming freshmen qualified. “When you're a university that takes access, affordability, accountability very seriously, the things that make people hesitate about higher education feel less overwhelming for a young person and their family,” Miranda explained. Transfer students are also contributing to UIC’s growth, with more than 2,600 enrolling this fall. The university reports strong interest in nursing, business, STEM and online programs, while working to create pathways for students from community colleges. Nationally, a recent Gallup poll revealed just 31% of Americans consider a college education very important, a record low. Miranda noted the university's racial and socioeconomic diversity

CTU president talks strike, says state owes $6 billion

(The Center Square) – Chicago Teachers Union leaders say they will keep pushing for more state funding of public education after Tuesday’s school board elections in Chicago, and CTU members will strike if they need to. With a few precincts still not reported on Wednesday, CTU-backed candidates won at least nine of 21 Chicago Board of Education seats but fell short of gaining a majority. Jessica Biggs won the election for school board president over CTU-backed candidate Hilario Dominguez, who told supporters it was one moment in a longer fight. “We ain’t going nowhere. This campaign was something much bigger than one seat on a school board,” Dominguez said. Biggs thanked voters in a social media post. “So grateful for this incredible support and ready to move Chicago Public Schools forward. The work starts now!” Biggs posted. CTU President Stacy Davis Gates said billionaires spent a million dollars a week to support candidates for an unpaid position. Gates said CTU does not just bargain for sick time and personal days. “See, I’m ok to negotiate when I know that this union will take it to the picket line if they need to lower class sizes,” Gates said.
