Illness counts as unexcused, with the first day of consecutive illness also deemed unexcused. Administrators justify the rule to curb lost class time and push parental accountability.

Hultine, a UI graduate, will plan social activities and supervise student funds. Whiteman, promoted from secretary, will manage residence halls and coordinate the dean of student affairs office.
