IBHE to decide fate of SIU E dental school Tuesday
Illinois Board of Higher Education reviews a dental education study with three options for SIU E and other schools. Proposals include keeping programs, cutting enrollments by 10 percent, or eliminating SIU E, which would save about five million dollars in operating costs and nine million for a new building. The study notes SIU E graduates mostly stay in southern Illinois and aid the Alton East St. Louis area, with low licensure failure rates and significant local economic impact.
