Shaw to receive 1070 monthly housing allowance
The SIU Board of Trustees approved a 1070 dollar monthly housing allowance for Chancellor Kenneth Shaw effective January 1, with annual inflation adjustments. Shaw will move into a privately owned home, while the university shelves building another campus house. The move aligns with cost-saving thoughts, and no changes are planned for the two university homes currently used by SIU presidents.

Jail site purchase could strain Jackson County budget
Jackson County faces a tight balance if it buys the Murphysboro jail site. Finance Chairman Douglas Eriksen warned the purchase would leave less than a 10 percent budget cushion, with a possible surplus near only 36 thousand for the year versus 450 thousand last year. He noted a 3 million budget should hold at least a 500 thousand surplus, and the old budget had included the 416 thousand site price.
