Tuition Hike In Store For Students At SIU

Students at Southern Illinois University are looking at a possible increase in tuition and fees.  The school's budget is being stripped by about ten-million dollars next year.  The Carbondale campus is expected to lose about six-million dollars while the Edwardsville campus stands to lose three million.  University President Glenn Poshard says that could take things from bad to worse.  He says it will make it tougher for low-income students who struggle to pay for college. Poshard says the university has already seen extensive cuts in recent years.  In fact, it's seen about a 30-million dollar drop over the past few years.
