Special SIU Board Meeting Set for Wednesday - Borrowing, SIUC Chancellor on Agenda

SIU Trustees will decide this week whether to approve borrowing between the Carbondale and Edwardsville campuses, and appoint a new chancellor for SIUC.
A special meeting has been called for Wednesday in Edwardsville. The agenda is short - just three items. They include the borrowing plan which failed to get a vote last month in Carbondale, as well as approval of a new SIUC Chancellor, and a change to the contract for the SIU School of Medicine's dean.

The borrowing proposal also includes language that could allow administrators to declare a financial emergency on the SIU Carbondale campus. While details have not yet been released, SIUC leaders are working on a plan to cut $30 million from the budget there.

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.
