SIUC Announces More Belt Tightening

Spending controls are tightening at SIU Carbondale, as the school is still without state funding for this fiscal year.
SIUC Interim Chancellor Brad Colwell sent a letter to the campus on Monday, detailing a hiring freeze, a review of "extra help" positions, and a delay in travel and purchasing.

Colwell says it's a way to help the SIU limp along without state money. He says the guidelines may be relaxed when a budget is passed and cash starts flowing again from Springfield.

At the same time, Colwell says the campus focus on students must continue - he says graduate assistants are being hired for the spring semester.
 

Jennifer Fuller joined Capitol News Illinois in July 2023 as the organization’s broadcast director. She will oversee the launch and operations of CNI’s new broadcast division.
