SIU Board turmoil pits Herrin against Poshard leadership
Ongoing conflict among SIU trustees centers on who leads the board after Roger Herrin, named chair in 2011, was not reappointed. John Simmons replaces him as chair while Ed Hightower and Mark Hinrichs stay on. Poshard accuses Herrin and Lowery of meddling in campus affairs, with blame over daily operations lingering amid FOIA communications and a planned retreat to clarify board roles.
