Pritzker Visits SIUE, Signs Bill Granting System Student Trustees Voting Rights

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker visited the campus of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville on Tuesday, July 30 where he signed House Bill 2239, designating both elected SIU System student trustees to be full voting members of the board. The signed amendment takes effect immediately.

The legislation was introduced by Rep. Katie Stuart (112^th district) and was sponsored by Sen. Rachelle Crowe (56^thdistrict). Previously, the governor designated the voting student trustee, generally alternating between the SIUE and SIU Carbondale campuses.

A public event was held in SIUE’s Morris University Center Goshen Lounge with remarks from Pritzker, SIU System Interim President Dr. J. Kevin Dorsey, Stuart, Crowe, Rep. Jay Hoffman (113^th district) and SIUE student trustee Mackenzie Rogers.
