6	17		4 Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Public
7	18		5 University Direct Admission Program Act.
8	19		6 Section 5. Findings. The General Assembly finds all of the
9	20		7 following:
10	21		8 (1) Illinois has a strong system of public higher
11	22		9 education, including public universities and community
12	23		10 colleges across the State.
13	24		11 (2) The Illinois economy thrives when Illinois
14	25		12 students choose to pursue postsecondary education at
15	26		13 Illinois institutions of higher education.
16	27		14 (3) According to the National Bureau of Economic
17	28		15 Research, two-thirds of graduates stay and work in the
18	29		16 state in which they matriculated.
19	30		17 (4) Students who have been historically underserved,
20	31		18 such as students who are the first in their families to go
21	32		19 to college, students who come from low-income families or
22	33		20 communities, students of color, and students from rural
23	34		21 communities, among others, often face the greatest
24	35		22 barriers to accessing higher education, in part because of
25	36		23 a lack of information.
