SIU chancellor Shaw drew low interest mortgages on board loan
Kenneth Shaw, SIU Edwardsville chancellor, received two low interest loans from Illini Federal Savings and Loan while serving on its board. The 7.25 percent loan on a $168,000 mortgage saves about $8,000 yearly, with a second 9,000 loan at 8.75 percent. Shaw says he attends most board meetings and the housing allowance was folded into his salary. He denies a housing perk and notes no university business with the lender.
