New SIU Chancellor Carlo Montemagno has given more details on his plans to restructure the university.

Montemagno’s plan currently calls for eliminating all 42 individual departments and trimming the university’s eight academic colleges down to five.

According to Montemagno, the slimming down would save the college roughly 2.3 million dollars a year, mainly by eliminating the salaries of department chairs.
