SIU Raises Fees, Not Tuition

By Angela Hatton

Carbondale, IL – Southern Illinois University officials will likely increase fees at their Carbondale and Edwardsville campuses, while keeping tuition the same. The school's board of trustees has begun looking at more than a dozen proposals to increase fees. The proposals include adding $5 to the student-center fee and tacking on $10 to the athletic fee. The board's likely to vote on any increases next month. There's hope a decision not to raise tuition costs will help boost enrollment.
