MACOMB/MOLINE, IL – The Western Illinois University Board of Trustees will hold a special meeting via teleconferencing at 11 a.m. Monday, March 30, 2020.

The trustees will consider a resolution that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board temporarily suspends BOT policies, regulations, rules, or any other authority currently granted to the Board governing campus operations, and delegates those inherent powers to the Interim President until the sooner of the state of emergency is lifted or until the next Board of Trustees meeting.

The meeting will be live-streamed on WIU's YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/WesternIllinoisU.

The meeting is closed to the public due to the Stay at Home Order that remains in effect. On March 16, 2020, Gov.
