University Payroll

It's not just SIUC. Universities all around the state are struggling to make payroll. Uof I is cutting and furloughing staff to make payroll, while SIUC is asking the legislature for the power to borrow money short term, until the $125 million the state owes SIUC comes through. Of course, given the current state of the state government, I'd not hold my breath expecting to see that $125 million quickly.
