SIU Trustees to Open Hearings on Governing System
Southern Illinois University trustees will hold open hearings later this year on how the system is run. The debate centers on replacing the three way power structure that currently splits administration between Carbondale and Edwardsville campuses, with a single leader and accountable administration. The current setup is costly, confusing, and leaves no clear reporting line to state government. Faculty staff and students seek a unified administration to reduce duplication and improve coordination.
