Officials seek balance as Hoffman bill reshapes SIU board
Illinois lawmaker Rep. Jay Hoffman shifts House Bill 3465 from splitting SIU campuses to reforming the trustees. The nine member board would include three SIUC alumni or locals, three SIUE alumni or locals, one at large member and two student representatives. University officials say the plan risks reducing SIU to a community college model. SIU President James Walker and SIUC and SIUE spokespeople defend current representation, noting statewide draw of students and cross campus appeal. Former trustee William Norwood notes ongoing campus rivalries but says the board has acted evenly.
