Urbana, IL -(Effingham Radio)- The University of Illinois is going to have to tell a lot of students ‘No’ this week.
The school says more than 22 thousand students have applied for tickets to see former President Barack Obama receive the Paul H. Douglas Award for Ethics in Government.
Unfortunately there are only thirteen hundred tickets available.
The school says anyone who doesn’t get tickets to see the president, can always watch the livestream which will be broadcast across campus.
