SIU ends off campus car ban after 14 years
The Southern Illinois University board of trustees voted to end the ban on students operating or possessing cars off campus. The revised rules limit university authority to on campus parking and require car registration for parking, with freshmen and sophomores under 21 still without off campus privileges. The change follows a long debate and prior protests dating to 1957 and 1960.
