Originally I thought these were a form of outreach to new students but now I see they are instead outreach to alumni. with the steady decline of state funding, reaching out to alumni for support is becoming more important to all universities, not just SIUC. Of course, given the steady decline in students, it is hard to create a lot of excitement about campus events. Until the university manages to come up with something to significantly turn around enrollment, and not by just 1 or 2 percent, it will be hard to create much excitement.
Saluki Universa; Tours? But, unlike the studio version, there is nothing to see. This is another ominous sign of the times especially with the University doing nothing about a Spring Semester DE report pointing out that students are using A-I and Chat to cheat on their papers. A colleague has to invest $50 to get an anti-Chat machine since the University refuses to [purchase one. Word is getting round, and it is unlikely that alumni will support a sinking ship that also encourages cheating by the present generation of students.
