SIU Finance Committee Tables Some Fee Proposals

Southern Illinois University Trustees meeting in Edwardsville today tabled some proposed fee increases during the board's finance committee meeting.

The board's finance committee today voted to table action on a proposed $9 fee increase for Athletics and a new $9 per semester student fee to support the Daily Egyptian student newspaper.   The DE fee would generate more than $260,000 annually to support the publication’s operation.  

Trustees have also tabled action on the renewal of a major marketing contract with Lipman Hearne.  The contract is before the board as part of a third renewal option that would cost the university $2-million dollars.  SIU Trustees are meeting in Edwardsville.   

WSIU’s Jennifer Fuller is covering the meeting.
