SIUE Faculty Union Calls for Bargaining Over Budget Cuts

Southern Illinois University Edwardsville faces over $10 million in operating deficits, leading Chancellor James Minor to announce significant budget cuts including layoffs and alterations to academic programs. This plan also incorporates early retirement buyouts and potential consolidation or elimination of some faculty and staff positions. The Illinois Education Association, representing the 2,700 faculty and staff, insists these changes are subject to mandatory bargaining, emphasizing the impact on student services and job security. The university's financial struggles mirror a national trend of declining enrollments and rising expenses, exacerbated by decreased birth rates and a shift from traditional liberal arts education.

Thousands of Illinoisans start their day with Daily Belleville

“Reading the newsletter has become a really positive daily habit for me. I read it while drinking my coffee and planning the day. It saves me a ton of time, but it's really enjoyable too. It's great to have the news filtered down to just a handful of critical events everyday that actually matters to me. I also like reading the community profiles. They interview people locally like teachers, politicians, and small business owners. It's hard to find this anywhere else.”

“This newsletter is like a lifeline. I don't have the attention span these days to read the paper, and Facebook is a mess. This newsletter keeps me informed, without taking the whole day from me.”

“I like how this newsletter keeps me connected with our community. It's great to have a dedicated source that focuses on what's going on locally. So many news companies are focused on huge attention-grabbing national headlines. But, besides the entertainment value, it's not really relevant to my day-to-day. Also it's great the newsletter is free.”

“This newsletter has been a game-changer for my business. It not only highlights local news but also features small businesses like mine. It's a great platform for local exposure.”

Business Owner

“I'm a parent, and it's apparent how busy that makes me. I LOVE newspapers (especially the smell), but I never have time to read it anymore. So thank god this newsletter exists, and I can read it in a few minutes. If anything is really critical or catches my eye, I can always spend more time reading into each piece of news, but it isn't usually necessary.”

“I moved away a few years ago. I use the newsletter to keep one foot in the town I grew up in, and my friends and family continue to live in. It keeps me connected to my hometown, and I look forward to reading it quickly every morning.”
