SIU Edwardsville gets $641000 appropriation amid budget trims
The Senate Appropriations Committee II approved $641,000 for SIU Edwardsville to fund a physical education building, while trimming about $2.5 million from Illinois and $1.1 million from SIU requests to align with Gov. Thompson’s budget. The panel sent the measure to the floor on a 6-2 vote with a mostly party-line split and amended it to use capital bond money rather than general revenue funds. Final action on the bills for the four university systems could come next week.
