SIUC Holds Dorm Room Rates to Guard Jobs
Southern Illinois University Carbondale will not raise dormitory room rates next year, a move that may trigger job losses in housing. Housing director Samuel Rinella said costs for food and items will rise, forcing priorities and possible layoffs, though exact cuts are unknown. The plan preserves room and board at 1 155 per person per year, with 300 student workers and 200 full-time staff affected. The housing budget totals 7.7 million, funded mainly by dorm charges, plus 1.2 million from general tuition. Future increases may follow the 1974 75 year when SIUC shifts to a semester system.
