SIU employees will be getting a 2% salary increase. It was approved by the Board of Trustees Thursday.
“Thank you for all you do for SIU Carbondale, and I am grateful to the trustees for making this investment in our people,” Chancellor Austin Lane wrote in an email.
The salary increase is for employees on the active payroll as of October 1, 2023. Campus union members will receive their increase according to their collective bargaining agreement.

The increase will retroactively take effect for staff on July 1, 2023.
“The salary increase is possible with increased funds from the state and your hard work on enrollment. This is another step in our efforts to make employee compensation fairer and more competitive.” Lane wrote.
This marks the third straight year in which employees have received a salary increase working for SIU Carbondale.
