​ICYMI, after much union advocacy, one of former President Joe Biden’s last actions was to sign the Social Security Fairness Act into law, repealing the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset. This move restored full Social Security retirement benefits for 150,000 public servants in Illinois and millions nationwide. The Social Security Administration has since released an update, stating it will immediately begin paying retroactive benefits and increase monthly payments in April for the millions of people affected.

Illinois State University's 2024 financial data recently became publicly available, and our team crunched the numbers last night. To no one's surprise, these numbers run completely contradictory to the doom and gloom financial messaging we've been receiving since last Fall, and to the budget holdbacks we've endured and the cuts we've been told are coming. But none of us were expecting to see such a significant gain to their net income ($14.2 million) and net position ($666 million). This is more than enough money to be able to give all tenure line faculty the fair compensation we are asking for at the table.
