Budget Cut Threatens SIU Morris says $1.437M trim would curb enrollment and raise faculty strain
SIU President Delyte W. Morris warned that a proposed $1.437 million cut to Southern Illinois University’s 48.6477 million budget would force a general curtailment of operations. The plan would limit enrollments, block salary raises, prevent hiring new teachers, December workloads, and derail a planned six week summer session and area services expansion. The cut would come from a 900k personal salaries fund, 462k from a contingency reserve, and 75.9k from prior biennium carryover.
