A couple years ago SIU launched a new plan to raise funds and build new ON-CAMPUS athletic facilities and other projects.
Here is the concept for their new/renovated arena:
and other athletic facilities:
But now two years have gone by, and reportedly fund raising is way, way behind schedule.
The April Board of Trustees meeting proposed a significant hike in tuitions and fees and earmarked this extra money to try to help get the dollars flowing.
It even acknowledges that progress on improving and renovating has been very slow.
I just heard from a friend who is an alum and donor to SIU and he has recieved info urging a stepped up level of giving, in order to catch up, especially since lots of dollars are now needed for the big hike in Chris Lowery's salary.
Their renovations may get put on hold for an extended period.
