SIU Today - November 10, 2016

FROM THE CHANCELLOR

To the Campus Community:

This week’s presidential election was extremely divisive and emotions are running high. A number of people have contacted my office regarding offensive behavior and comments, including social media posts. While federal law prohibits us from discussing issues related to specific students, please know that we deeply share your concerns. We are reviewing every incident and will take appropriate action.

Sincerely

Brad Colwell
Interim Chancellor
