Illinois government employees’ pension reform is more important to SIUE students than they realize. University Planning and Budget Council Chairman Tim Schoenecker outlined three reasons students should care about pension reform at the Student Senate meeting Friday. “The uncertainty about which way pension reform is going is causing experienced faculty to leave,” Schoenecker said.
