SIU trustees hear updates on Carbondale campus construction plans
At a Springfield meeting the board heard about ongoing Carbondale campus construction, budget projections, and fundraising. President James Walker warned of possible 4.5 percent budget cuts, with no-growth options, while state lawmakers signaled near 4 percent cuts with higher education exempt. The board approved faculty appointments, deans, and vendor contracts, including Oracle support, equipment purchases, and archiving work. SIU Carbondale proposed a FY2006 budget of 210.8 million for the campus, plus a 131.5 million system capital plan, and a 4.5 million research awards slate featuring NIH and other grants.
