SIU Trustees Set Tuition, Fees for 2019-2020

SIU Trustees have set tuition and fee rates for next year - with no increase for undergraduates or graduate students on the Carbondale campus.

New Edwardsville undergrads will see no tuition increase, though their fees are going up 2.9%, and graduate students will pay 3% more in tuition.

Trustee Phil Gilbert, who was elected Chair of the Board Thursday, says SIU must keep its eyes on its mission.
 
"Our focus is, and should be, on the students and student success - with a goal of delivering a quality education at the lowest possible cost."
 
In other action, former Saluki Football Head Coach Jerry Kill was named Athletic Director and Special Assistant to the Chancellor.

Trustees also approved moving reporting lines for the School of Medicine and School of Law back to the Carbondale campus chancellor, after a few years of reporting to the system president. That move stems from a Higher Learning Commission recommendation linked to accreditation of the schools.
