SIU faculty and staff will now receive a 2% pay increase, according to a statement made by Chancellor Austin Lane. 

Lane said he has heard concerns about the lack of a pay raise from faculty and staff for sometime now.

“Today, we are pleased that for the second year in a row, SIU Carbondale can provide modest increases to employees’ salaries,” Lane said.
