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.
