The Complaint When Dr. Guiyou Huang took over as the new president of Western Illinois University on January 1, 2021, he already faced some serious challenges, including falling enrollment and unreliable state support. But then he began hearing from business and government leaders in the Quad Cities, who were quite unhappy with WIU and thinking about possible replacements. Stephanie Acri Moline Mayor Stephanie Acri was the most vocal critic. She said after meeting with President Huang, that his plans focused on Macomb and not enough on the Quad Cities. “When I look at the strategy, I see some components of some kind of feeder courses for finishing at Macomb, and then some adult courses, but that's not our vision for that campus,” she said.
