The SIU Board of Trustees approved an amendment that shifts from a formal five year review to yearly informal evaluations for the chancellor and campus presidents.

Dennis and Stolar urged formal recognition in the policy, but the board rejected that addition. They warned constituency involvement can yield positive reviews.
