Hoffman Files Bill to Split SIU System

SIU

Belleville  State Representative Jay Hoffman has filed legislation to once again try to separate southern Illinois University’s campuses.

The legislation filed yesterday  would abolish the current board of trustees and the university system and split the Carbondale and Edwardsville campuses into separate universities with separate boards.

The school of medicine would be associated with the Edwardsville campus.

The bill calls for the split to take place at the beginning of the fiscal year in July.

The bill has been assigned to the rules committee.   The legislation is HB-3389.
