WSIU's Jennifer Fuller talks with SIUC Interim Chancellor John Dunn about the effects of COVID-19 on the university.

Dunn went on to discuss effects on university operations and more:

Q: Beyond online classes and taking care of immediate needs, there are still many university operations that must be managed. What is the effect on the budget that you're aware of, and how are you handling things like a cancelled commencement and altered spring semester?
