SIU May Seek 13 Percent Tuition Hike If Budget Cuts Stand
Chancellor Kenneth Shaw told the SIU Board that a maximum 13 percent tuition increase could be requested, depending on Illinois General Assembly action on a proposed budget. The university seeks 161.3 million in state funding, with Governor Thompson recommending 156.0 million, and would add a 3 percent tuition boost if needed. Shaw stressed higher education needs remain unmet, with cuts across programs and personnel to balance the budget while honoring pay raises.
