(Springfield, IL) — If Southern Illinois University Trustees won’t do it, then perhaps Illinois lawmakers will. There is a push at the statehouse in Springfield to separate SIU’s campuses in Carbondale and Edwardsville. The plan from state Rep Jay Hoffman would give SIU-E its own board of trustees. The legislation follows last week’s decision from SIU trustees not to shift five million-dollars from Carbondale to Edwardsville to track a shift in students.
