SIU s campuses in Carbondale and Edwardsville will hold tuition and mandatory fees flat next year - as administrators say higher education shouldn t be out of reach because of cost.
SIUC Chancellor Austin Lane says students and their families need a quality education, but they have to be able to afford it, too. This is the third year in a row for not increasing undergraduate tuition. Our mandatory fees have remained at the same level since Fiscal Year 16. Just so everyone knows, we re doing everything we can to maintain our focus on affordability and accessibility.
In addition, the university s board of trustees formalized the hire of the system s first Vice President for Anti-Racism, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Sheila Caldwell is expected to start that position this summer.
