SIUC Tuition Hike Proposal Faces Student Hearing and Board Review
SIUC chancellor Wendler proposes substantial tuition increases over four years to plug a $13.5 million shortfall. Undergraduate and graduate tuition would rise from $3,102 to over $5,600 by 2005, with 5 percent annual fee growth. He aims half the new funds for need and merit scholarships to prop up enrollment. Other Illinois campuses prepare sizable hikes, while SIUC collects student input ahead of May board action.
