ACTA's Must-Reads
« Strange but true | Main | Getting a "lock" on tuition »
Kudos to SIU
In a welcome piece of news, the Southern Illinois University Board of Trustees recently voted to freeze tuition for the upcoming academic year. SIU-Carbondale's tuition and fees are already more than $10,000 per year and tuition alone has more than doubled in the past nine years. As SIU president Glenn Poshard said, the university "can't continue to put the burden on the backs" of low- and middle-income families." The Board of Trustees deserves praise for this decision.
