        "text": "OPINION\nMontana, C.J.\nThis matter is before the Court upon the joint stipulation of the parties hereto. This claim sounds in tort and is brought pursuant to section 8(d) of the Court of Claims Act. Ill. Rev. Stat. 1985, ch. 37, par. 439.8(d).\nClaimant was a student at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois, and resided at Grant Towers South residence hall, a dormitory owned, operated and maintained by Respondent. On two separate occasions, on the evenings of January 13, 1980, and March 23, 1980, Claimant suffered personal injuries when she was attacked, assaulted, battered and raped in her dormitory room by an unknown assailant or assailants.\nWe note that the parties hereto have agreed to a settlement of this claim and that Respondent agrees to the entry of an award in favor of Claimant in the amount of forty thousand dollars and no/cents ($40,000.00).\nBased on the foregoing, Claimant, Jane Doe, is hereby awarded the sum of forty thousand dollars and no/cents ($40,000.00), in full and final satisfaction of this claim.\nIt is further ordered that the record in this matter be sealed and the Claimant be referred to as Jane Doe when this decision is reported in the Court of Claims Reports.\nORDER ON MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION\nMontana, C.J.\nThis cause comes on to be heard on the Claimant\u2019s motion for reconsideration, due notice having been given, and the Court being advised.\nOn August 5,1986, this Court approved a settlement reached by the parties to this claim and entered an award in the amount of $40,000.00. Immediate payment of said award was not authorized by section 24 of the Court of Claims Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1985, ch. 37, par. 439.24). The award was presented to the legislature for appropriation of funds to pay the award during the fall session of 1986. Funds were appropriated and payment was vouchered on February 6, 1987. In her motion, Claimant stated she received the warrant on February 18, 1987. Over three months later Claimant filed the motion at bar seeking interest on the judgment. Claimant cited section 2 \u2014 1303 of the Code of Civil Procedure in support of her motion. Ill. Rev. Stat. 1985, ch. 110, par. 2 \u2014 1303.\nThe Court has consistently followed the rule that the State is not liable for interest in the absence of a statute expressly subjecting it to such liability. The statute cited by the Claimant does not expressly make the State of Illinois liable for post-judgment interest. See Gendel v. State (1982), 38 Ill. Ct. Cl. 76, and cases cited therein.\nIt is hereby ordered that Claimant\u2019s motion for reconsideration be, and hereby is, denied.",
