Just under 50% of Illinois high school students going to college leave Illinois to go a 4 year instituion in another state. Of those about 60% go to one of the following states: Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Michigan, and Ohio. it's not just an SIUC problem, it affects colleges throughout the state. SIUC just got hit a lot harder than most other colleges.
It will be interesting to see how our cheer-leading Chancellor deals with this? The BOT are also responsible for retaining ineffectual chancellors and Presidents who engage in slogans without really raising enrollments and getting huge pay rises!
