Graduate students 'concerned,' 'discouraged' by Montemagno's vision to increase enrollment KITT FRESA | @kittfresa
WSIU 2x7 BW
As Chancellor Carlo Montemagno continues to release more details regarding his plan to rearrange academic programs, some graduate students say they are growing increasingly concerned about their future at SIU. Particularly worrisome, students say, is his plan to eliminate graduate student instructors of record — graduate students who teach undergraduate classes. According to Montemagno’s Vision 2025 website, graduate students will not serve as instructors of record who have the “independent responsibility for creating and delivering courses, including making determinations about which students may enroll in the course, what instructional materials are used, and what grade the students will receive.” Bethany Henning, a graduate student instructor of record, said this is “discouraging,” and could be detrimental to her career prospects when she graduates. “It is really difficult to teach knowing that I do not have the support and confidence of this administration and our chancellor, knowing that he thinks that I am not qualified to be an instructor of record,” Henning said. Being an instructor of record, Henning said, makes her more competitive with other graduates from other universities for jobs in her field. “My experiences in the classroom both as a student and a teacher have been so valuable to me as a person and as a learner,” Henning said. “I am pretty sure that Montemagno doesn’t know this yet, but … it is the thing that allows me to compete with Ivy League graduates at this stage.” Henning said she has been a teaching assistant numerous times and an instructor of record six different times, all of which have been experiences that have prepared her for a career. “A lot of people, when they graduate with their Ph.D., cannot say that — but I can,” Henning said. “SIU is special. Montemagno is trying to make it less special in that way.” Associate Provost David DiLalla said the elimination of graduate instructors of record is not due to the chancellor's academic reorganization plans. “[It is due to ] the need to ensure that all of our
“It is really difficult to teach knowing that I do not have the support and confidence of this administration and our chancellor, knowing that he thinks that I am not qualified to be an instructor of record.” - Bethany Henning graduate student instructor of record
undergraduate students receive the best education possible and that our graduate students who are involved in classroom instruction have strong mentorship and supervision," DiLalla said. “We recognize the importance of teaching experience for the professional development of graduate students and we will be encouraging program leaders and faculty to develop innovative mentored teaching opportunities that provide this extremely valuable experience to our graduate students.” Dianah McGreehan, the Graduate and Professional Student Council vice president for administrative affairs, said she is concerned the decision to eliminate graduate instructors of record was not made based on any evidence. She said she recently met with a high-level administrator, whom she preferred not to name, to ask what the reasoning for the decision was. “[The administrator] responded that it was pretty much just off of the chancellor’s sole philosophy,” McGreehan said. “The sole philosophy of one man, rather than data and research and evidence — which is surprising since he’s such a man of science and empirical data.”
Wednesday, november 15, 2017 In McGreehan’s department, communications studies, she said there are 47 courses taught with graduate students as instructors of record. “Now to eliminate that would just be madness,â€? McGreehan said. Henning said graduate student instructors of record are not free to do whatever they wish with a course syllabus, but rather must submit it to faculty members for approval before it can be used. Submitted syllabi go through a review process, she said. The department looks it over to collectively decide whether the graduate student is ready to teach the courses they applied to, and Henning said revisions are typically made before the student can teach the class. “I don’t think Montemagno understands the process by which I’ve been shepherded and supported and crafted into a teacher with my own style and my own approach,â€? Henning said. “My syllabi go through a rigorous process of competition and analysis before they're approved.â€? McGreehan said part of the administration’s rationale is that prospective students don’t want to be taught by teaching assistants — they want to be taught by faculty members. But if graduate students are still teaching core classes, albeit supervised, she said it still doesn’t make sense from a marketing standpoint. “The goal was to promote to incoming students that all their classes would be taught by faculty members,â€? she said. “That is the promotion of a blatant falsehood, because nothing is going to change‌ When you’re registering for those classes, I can promise you that instructor will never set foot in the room.â€? In an opinion piece published in the Southern Illinoisan on Thursday, Montemagno said SIU must “pay attention to graduate education, providing our graduate students opportunities to engage with our academic mission through assistantships, including teaching assistantships.â€? “We can grow our graduate enrollment overall with increased grant funding that provides opportunities for graduate students,â€? the chancellor said. But we must rely on multiple sources of funding to ensure that these opportunities are in all of our graduate-level programs.â€? Clay Awsumb, GPSC vice president of graduate school affairs, said this aspect of the chancellor’s plan for SIU is hard to disagree with. “The idea of putting a priority on the quality of one’s graduate and professional training and education that they receive, that’s not something anyone is really not interested in doing,â€? Awsumb said. Still, Awsumb said graduate students feel a bit in the dark about the chancellor’s plans for them. “A lot of what we’ve been trying to do is piece together what we can in sort of that limited articulation
Page 5 of any kind of vision, or plan or sense of direction for graduate studies,� Awsumb said. DiLalla said the chancellor is still shaping his vision for graduate students based on the feedback he is constantly receiving. “I am confident that feedback and input from graduate students was seriously taken into consideration, and that such feedback influenced ongoing development of the proposal,� DiLalla said. Graduate programs weren’t explicitly addressed in the initial reorganization plan because the chancellor was trying to keep it from becoming complicated, DiLalla said. “We did not list all degree programs for simplicity of presentation. We also did not include graduate certificate programs on the draft version of the chart, again for simplicity of presentation,� DiLalla said. When the next draft of the reorganization is released Nov. 17, DiLalla said the administration will provide a summary of where every academic program, including minors and certificate proposals, will be housed. According to Montemagno’s Vision 2025 website, his goal is to “increase graduate enrollment and opportunities by fostering an environment for faculty to build interdisciplinary graduate programs that will attract students as well as grants and other external funding to support them.� McGreehan said that, according to operating papers released over the summer by SIU President Randy Dunn when he was acting as interim chancellor, the university’s projected total operating budget for this year is around $180 million. Compared with the entire budget, McGreehan said the amount of money saved by the reorganization is inconsequential. “This entire restructuring that the chancellor is proposing would only potentially save $2.3 million,� McGreehan said. GPSC President Johnathan Flowers said the chancellor seems unwilling to communicate with graduate students which, among other things, contributes to their uncertainty. “The chancellor’s silence, the constant revision of his messages where GA funding is concerned, the apparent unwillingness to communicate with GPSC — all of this makes me very concerned with regards to the future of graduate education at this institution,� Flowers said. McGreehan said GPSC has asked the chancellor several times to hold an open forum for students. “[We asked] especially on behalf of GPSC so that he can answer some of these questions directly towards graduate students, and it has been denied to us,� McGreehan said.

Philosophy department hires first Africana philosophy specialist TIERRA CARPENTER | @tierramc
The newest hire to the philosophy department comes as the first ever at SIU in his area of expertise; professor Alfred Frankowski is the university’s only Africana philosophy specialist. Frankowski, who started in August, focuses on a range of areas within that specialty, including critical philosophy of race, African American and Africana philosophy, aesthetics, post-colonialism and critical genocide studies, according to the department’s website. While enrolled as an undergraduate studying psychology and philosophy at San Jose University, Frankowski said he had to choose one of his two study areas to work in before he graduated. “Because psychology seemed like the more financially stable one, I thought that I wanted to do psychology, but I realized that I really loved philosophical questions and that everything I was interested in was in the field of philosophy,” Frankowski said. He decided to go for his master’s degree in philosophy at the same university. As a graduate student he taught his first class in the field, ethics. Frankowski said that’s when he really started to look at philosophy
as a career field, and he eventually enrolled at the University of Oregon to earn his doctorate. It was there he said he concentrated on the philosophy of race, phenomenology and critical theory. “I realized there were some questions I really wanted to pursue,” Frankowski said. “A career in philosophy as a researcher is what would allow me to do that.” After he graduated from the University in Oregon in 2012, Frankowski took a job at Northeastern University in Chicago as an assistant professor. While at Northeastern, he said he developed a second research interest in the field of genocide studies, with a particular focus on Africa. “I was working with some folks there, and we all thought that that would be an interesting way of rethinking genocide, thinking about Africa and the African diaspora as the center of thinking about structures of genocide, as opposed to starting from the Holocaust and thinking about every genocide as having to meet the Holocaust standard,” Frankowski said. He said his eyes opened to the fact that there were philosophical questions that hadn’t been asked yet. “It was freeing for me to be able
“I realized there were some questions I really wanted to pursue. A career in philosophy as a researcher is what would allow me to do that.” - Alfred Frankowski Africana philosophy specialist
to say that I wasn’t just looking for answers,” Frankowsi said. “Instead of thinking in terms of, ‘What answers can we produce,’ thinking about what questions haven’t we asked. That was really freeing for me as a student.” Frankowski currently teaches two classes at SIU, Intro to Ethics and Philosophy of Race. He said he enjoys the fact that he is working with students from diverse backgrounds. “That was really something I wanted to make sure I was continuing to do,” Frankowski said. “I wasn’t quite sure if I moved from NEIU what the diversity would be like. I was happy to see that that was still a part of the population here.” In Frankowski’s Philosophy of Race class, he said about half of the students are from the Africana studies department. The other half is from philosophy. This makes for some inciteful discussions, he said. “That’s added such a wonderful dynamic to the classroom. I can see folks learning from each other,” Frankowski said. One of Frankowski’s students is Sam Beard, a senior from Naperville studying philosophy. Beard is one person who advocated for the hire of a professor with Frankowski’s specializations. He said it was important to him to have a professor like Frankowski because Beard lacks knowledge on Frankowski’s specialities. “Historically speaking, philosophy is an extremely white field,” Beard said. “The biggest thinkers in philosophy have all been white males for the most part. I thought that we could certainly use an expert in the department.”
Beard said he thinks it’s vital to have the person teaching about Africana philosophy be an African American. “People of color are severely underrepresented at universities in general, and specifically at SIU,” Beard said. “While representation isn’t the fix to all problems of diversity in institutions of higher education, it allows for the transfer of different perspectives on life and on philosophy.” Beard said he recently attended a movie screening at Morris Library for “I am Not Your Negro,” a film based on a book James Baldwin had started to write about the lives and assassinations of Martin
Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and Medgar Evers. It was Frankowski’s idea to show this film on campus. Frankowski said it was at the screening that he realized he could successfully spread his teaching beyond the classroom. “To be able to facilitate a conversation about race where we pursue our questions about it openly, as a community — that was really a sort of turning point for me at SIU,” Frankowski said.

The Illinois General Assembly's scrambling efforts to regain control amid sexual harassment allegations would be laughable if the subject weren't so serious. The Legislature's prior unresponsiveness toward ethical complaints is typical of the arrogance of power Illinoisans have come to expect from the Democrats in charge — House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton. Twenty-seven ethics complaints were filed against legislators or staffers since the last legislative inspector general, Tom Homer, left at the end of 2014. For nearly 3 years, those complaints sat idle in the legislative inspector general's office. Why? Because those in power say they could not agree upon a replacement, and so there was nobody empowered to investigate. What a difference a few weeks can make. After legislative activist Denise Rotheimer, testifying at a hearing, accused state Sen. Ira Silverstein, a Chicago Democrat, of sexual harassment, said she'd filed a complaint with the legislative inspector general's office in November 2016, and asked why nothing had been done about it, the top dogs in the Legislature decided they couldn't stall any longer. The Legislative Ethics Commission, meeting in emergency session the first weekend of November, acted with lightning speed to appoint former federal prosecutor Julie Porter as legislative inspector general. And last week, lawmakers OK'd legislation that would empower Porter to act on all 27 ethics complaints that
have languished, some since 2015. That permission was needed because the usual window for acting on a complaint is limited to 12 months. Also last week, House and Senate members were hurriedly given sexual harassment awareness training by staff members from the Illinois Department of Human Rights as the final days of the fall veto session wound down. This all began as legislation to specifically prohibit harassment in the Legislature's ethics code was being considered, in the wake of a storm of sexual harassment complaints in Hollywood and elsewhere. Our concern is that Democratic legislative leaders have a history of giving the appearance of enacting reforms without actually doing anything of substance to advance good government. Now they've been unmasked. Now the public will be watching. Now they will be held accountable -- we hope. Madigan, Cullerton and their majority Democratic caucuses aren't accustomed to accountability. Smug and haughty in their majority status, they have scrupulously avoided it. We note that state Sen. Tim Bivins' new bill to block legislators from serving on the state Legislative Ethics Commission sounds absolutely necessary. The Legislature has proved it is averse to policing itself. A better way is to bring in disinterested outsiders to do the job. Going forward, a key question is, What will happen to those 27 ethics complaints, particularly Rotheimer's complaint against Silverstein? Legislative sexual harassment "reforms," in practice, must be wielded with authority to stop in its tracks this abhorrent behavior toward women in the state Capitol.

Program change proposals for academic reorganization released MARNIE LEONARD | @marsuzleo
University administration released program change proposals for the chancellor’s plan to reorganize campus academic units Friday, according to the Faculty Association website. FA President David Johnson wrote on the website that the major changes included the new proposals, sent to him by Associate Provost David DiLalla, include moving the School of Homeland Security into the renamed College of Social Sciences, Humanities, Media and Arts, moving the zoology program from the School of Sustainability to the School of Biological Sciences and moving political science from social science to homeland security. Chancellor Carlo Montemagno’s reorganization plan reduces SIU’s current eight colleges to five, which are further broken down into 16 schools. Among the more controversial aspects of the academic shakeup is the elimination of departments and departmental chairs. The first draft was released in October during a public forum, and the second draft with campus-wide input is slated to come out Nov. 17. Though departments are still being eliminated under these proposals, Johnson said “they will now live a sort of afterlife as ‘divisions,’” or bodies within schools that contain multiple programs. “There is also more language about possible compensation for division coordinators,” Johnson said on the website. “But the basic thrust of the plan remains, as these ‘divisions’ will not have autonomy over matters including operating papers, curriculum, fiscal matters, workload or tenure.” Under the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences will be the School of Biological Sciences, School of Agricultural Sciences and School of Sustainability and Earth Science.

The College of Engineering, Physical Science and Applied Technology contains the School of Engineering, School of Transportation and Applied Technology and the School of Computer and Physical Sciences.The College of Health and Human Services holds the School of Health Services and the School of Human Services Finally, the College of Social Sciences, Humanities, Media and Arts contains the School of Social Science and Multicultural Studies, the School of Humanities, the School of Homeland Security, School of Architecture Art and Design and the School of Media and Performing Arts. The School of Education is freestanding. Each of the 16 new schools has a separate document laying out changes under the new structure. These papers detail which departments will be housed under which school, each
school’s organizational structure and the potential impact of the change on faculty and students. Each paper also looks at financial savings of the reorganization, which Montemagno has said will spare SIU a permanent $2.3 million due to the “elimination of administrative positions, including a reduction in the number of dean positions” and the elimination of all chair positions, according to the new draft. Each program change proposal also includes a comparison to similar programs at peer universities, but Johnson said these sections do not detail universities that have adopted the school model in general. “Nor do they regularly provide models for the individual schools in question,” Johnson said. “We are entering terra incognita.” Other programmatic changes in the newly-released proposals include: The physiology, pharmacology and neuroscience programs will not be housed
in, but "affiliated" with the School of Biological Sciences, and existing faculty will keep their tenure in the School of Medicine. New hires in those areas may be in the new school rather than the School of Medicine, Johnson said on the FA website. Paralegal studies and “programs in pre-law” are also being moved from social sciences to the School Homeland Security. SIU does not have a "freestanding pre-law major," Johnson said, so it remains unclear what this means. Johnson said it could mean "all prelaw specializations in majors outside the boundaries of divisions in Homeland Security" could be eliminated. The electronic systems technology program, which was not mentioned in previous iterations of the reorganization, is now housed in the School of Homeland Security. The police academy does not appear in the new program proposals. Johnson said this could signify that the state — "or Western
Illinois University, which has a highly regarded program in this area" — objected to SIU creating such a program. Africana studies will be kept in the School of Social Science and Multicultural Studies. Linguistics, which was previously placed with the humanities, will be moved to the School of Social Science and Multicultural Studies. These minor and certificate programs will reside in the School of Social Science and Multicultural Studies: Latino and Latin American studies, Native American studies, peace studies and women, gender and sexuality studies. For more information on the specific programs included under each school, check the Faculty Association website.

Army, Air Force ROTC students hold 24-hour CORY RAY | @coryray_de
For a full 24 hours, Reserve Officers' Training Corps students stood under the flagpole outside Woody Hall to remind people passing by to commemorate veterans. “It’s about honoring who came before us,” Schuyler Parks, a junior from Marseilles studying aviation technologies, said. “We’re aspiring to be military officers one day.” The students began the vigil at 11 a.m. on Nov. 9 and ended it the next morning at 11 a.m., at which time they attended a Veterans Day ceremony in Carbondale. Parks, an Air Force ROTC student, said one Army ROTC and one Air Force ROTC student
would stand under the pole for 15 minutes before rotating with another pair. Students marched out with a detail commander, who led the procession that involved a small changing of the guard ceremony, before assuming their position. “We bring the old guard back to attention to show their shift is coming to an end,” he said. “Just like in military, lower ranking officers enlisted will salute their higher ranking officers.” Night and day, those students stood facedown holding mock rifles under the flag, a position Parks said was a modified parade rest. “You get tired,” he said. “But you just keep doing it because it’s for a good cause.” Arnold Air Society ROTC students have been holding this yearly vigil since 1985 — more than

vigil at Woody Hall flagpole to honor veterans 30 years — Brennan Palmer, a sophomore from Washington studying mechanical engineering, said. Parks said some of the veterans they now honor were once SIU cadets standing in front of the flagpole, bringing their vigil full-circle. Both Parks and Palmer said they’ve seen a variety of responses, from curiosity to pictures to some passersby coming up and thanking them. “A lot of people on campus don’t really realize what it’s for,” Parks said. “You’ll get people asking questions.” Parks said planning took one and a half months, beginning with securing a base on the lower level of Woody Hall where those students would relax, eat and even sleep when not on guard.
They began practicing the changing of the guard ceremony a couple weeks before the event, Parks said. ROTC Air Force Cadet Devin Tegtman, a senior from Crystal Lake in architectural studies, said about 40 cadets participated in helping with the vigil. For Palmer, going into the Air Force was an easy decision as both his father and grandfather served in the branch. From a young age, he said his father sparked his interest in joining the military. “My dad’s in the Air Force — I always thought it was the coolest thing,” he said. Palmer stood outside for roughly four cumulative hours on Thursday, and he spent the rest of the time with other cadets at the Woody Hall base, he said.

Diversity Council preparing plan to implement cultural competency in SIU's core curriculum AMELIA BLAKELY | @AmeilaBlakely
Members of the Diversity Council say they are working on a proposal to add cultural competency into the curriculum that they will present to the chancellor by the end of the semester. In the first draft of Chancellor Carlo Montemagno’s academic reorganization, he said he tasked the Diversity Council with incorporating cultural competency in the core curriculum. This would entail making students more aware of cultural differences, Elizabeth Lewin, the associate chancellor for diversity, said. “Cultural competency occurs when an individual is aware of and sensitive to the differences among people from various cultures, ethnic groups and countries,” Lewin said. Lewin said council members have been sent to gather information from professors and campus committees that have been engaged in increasing inclusivity and diversity on campus. “We’re having to just gather. We don’t know what we’ll find, “ Lewin said. Lewin said once the information is collected, she hopes to have more direction on how to fulfill the chancellor’s request. Although the council received no written charge from Montemagno, Lewin said the chancellor has visited with council members. “He asked for its assistance, recommendations and how to infuse cultural competency or to teach diversity and inclusivity in the core curriculum,” Lewin said. Lewin said other than that verbal exchange, the council has had no other contact with the chancellor. Last year, Lewin said the council had made headway on its goals but was waiting interim Chancellor Brad Colwell’s approval of the work they had done. As they waited, Lewin said Montemagno was appointed and he asked the council to alter their work to meet his expectations and goals. Johnathan Flowers, the Diversity Council’s co-chair and president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council, said their previous work centered on how the university engaged in blending diversity into coursework and the core curriculum. Flowers said this gives the council a starting point. Flowers said the council collaborates with the Core Curriculum Advisory Committee and the Core Curriculum Executive Committee. They do have preliminary plans, Flower said, but the chancellor’s additional instructions came to them only recently and their plans are not ready to be made public yet.

“We want to do it in a way that enables everyone to engage in the cultural competency education that we are seeking to provide,” Flowers said. “We want to do it right.” Flowers said the council wants to be careful not to lessen the work done by other forces on campus that focus on the experiences of marginalized students. The Diversity Council and units like Africana studies and Latino studies should work together, Flowers said. He said the council does not see a need for departments like Africana studies to be dismantled to aid other departments in cultural competency. “We value these units as academic disciplines in their own right and believe they should be preserved as academic disciplines and independent units,” Flowers said. Still, Flowers said diverse and inclusive coursework is not the only thing necessary to make SIU culturally competent. “It has to be an overall addressing of the climate of the institution,” Flowers said.
Lewin said the council is optimistic to present a framework to the chancellor in which cultural competency on campus could be accomplished. “Recognizing we’re really all human, but we’re just coming from different experiences — that should be, as far as I’m concerned, something to celebrate and use to our advantage to progress,” Lewin said. Lewin said as members of an institution of higher learning, students should be excited and eager to learn about cultures that they aren’t a part of. “We should integrate the good and the positive from everywhere to help build us,” Lewin said. “To me, we are never going to progress and become the leader we’d like to be in this world until we embrace everybody who has something to offer.” Staff writer Amelia Blakely can be reached at ablakely@dailyegyptian.com or on Twitter @AmeilaBlakely.

Letter to the editor: Who we are and what we are not The Daily Egyptian has recently served as an important forum for information and debate regarding Chancellor Carlo Montemagno’s proposed campus realignment plan. While we collectively and individually have our own thoughts about the reorganization, and have no intention of advocating a position here, we would like to clarify the role of an academic criminology and criminal justice unit within our university. As faculty in one of the largest degree-granting units on campus and one of only about 45 universities in the United States to offer a comprehensive range of degree offerings (B.A., M.A., and Ph.D.), we were dismayed by remarks recently published in the Daily Egyptian that suggested we produce “hyper-militarized Stormtroopers,” “pump out more cops,” and “cater … to the police state.” It is quite possible that these terms were directed specifically at a proposed police academy (a separate unit) but, as a degree program that graduates many students interested in careers in local, state and federal law enforcement, we could not help but feel that our program and its students and alumni were at least partially the target of these comments. Let us briefly correct the record. Our program, like many others nationwide, dates back to the early 1960s, a period when reformers saw the value of academic criminal justice as a means of improving the quality of the criminal justice system. Individuals like Myrl Alexander, Elmer Johnson and Tom Murton (see Robert Redford’s character in "Brubaker") focused on the quality of the corrections system. Their legacy remains today, though with an expanded focus to include all areas of criminology and criminal justice. Faculty members conduct research, produce books and journal articles
and secure external funding in areas related to procedural justice, crime prevention, street gangs, juvenile delinquency, bullying, leadership and management, social movements, crime and place, offender assessment, comparative criminology and criminal justice, homeland security and war crimes. Our course offerings are equally broad. The program is not vocational in nature; students learn neither tactical driving techniques nor marksmanship. They study the causes of crime, the nature and development of law and society’s response to lawbreaking. Students learn research, writing and critical thinking skills so they can enter the field with an appreciation for knowledge grounded in evidence-based research. We do not simply prepare students to become part of the criminal justice apparatus. We encourage them to challenge deeply-held beliefs about system operations and search for alternative solutions to issues of crime in society. Space prevents us from providing more than a brief list of examples to illustrate these points: Students learn about the effects of mass incarceration on society, neighborhoods and individuals. They develop an appreciation for the collateral consequences of a conviction (or even contact with the criminal justice system) on job prospects, voting, housing and other areas of life, all of which have implications for future criminality. Many of our students have volunteered their time at Summit of Hope events to help parolees transition from incarceration into the community. Our courses stress what works in preventing crime but also consider broader outcome indicators such as fear, institutional legitimacy, and trust in authorities. Hundreds of undergraduate and graduate students went door-to-door in high crime areas
of St. Louis County and Springfield, IL, gathering data and hearing resident perceptions of police practices. The role of extra-legal factors (e.g., age, race, sex and ethnicity) are pervasive above and beyond legal factors (seriousness of the offense, prior record, strength of evidence) at decision points within the criminal justice system so relevant research is covered across the curriculum. In addition, students study the efficacy of options for addressing system biases (e.g., eliminating cash bail; developing valid prediction instruments). Our curriculum also emphasizes the fact that crime prevention and control can be achieved through non-criminal justice system means (e.g., neighborhoods, schools). For instance, one class recently spent an entire semester with a Carbondale apartment complex property manager applying principles of crime prevention through environment design, ultimately providing the manager with recommendations for changing physical and social aspects of the property. These are but a few examples of how we prepare students to enter a complex and changing world, ready to serve as change agents. We are proud of our more than 1,000 alumni members who hold positions in the public, private and nonprofit sectors. Joining them are recent Ph.D. graduates working in positions at Lander University, University of Minnesota-Duluth and California State University-Fresno. We look forward to the next group of students ready to make a difference in the world. Bryan Bubolz, Sujung Cho, Matthew Giblin, Julie Hibdon, Daniel Hillyard, Tammy Kochel, Daryl Kroner, Christopher Mullins, Raymund Narag, Breanne Pleggenkuhle and Joseph Schafer are professors in the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice.

Josh Maier is chasing titles while other runners are chasing him DILLON GILLILAND | @DillonGilliland
Whether it's cross country or on the track, there is only one place you will find redshirt junior Josh Maier, and that is near the front leading the competition. Born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, Maier has four major hobbies: running, playing baseball, playing video games and watching sports. Maier, a fan of all non-Cubs Chicago sports teams, did not have it easy when it came to succeeding in the athletic department at Alan B. Shepard High School, a 3A school in Palos Heights, Illinois. Maier utilized his passion for baseball to find quick success in the sport as his freshman year he was the starting third basemen for his team. Although it's his master craft now, Maier had no knowledge of what cross country was, until being invited to a tryout by cross country coach Troy Walker during his biology class. Maier found his other calling going into his sophomore year of high school where he picked up track. The future track star found his success in long distance running, becoming a twotime South Suburban Red Conference individual champion, an experience he said really helped his development on the course. Although Maier showed major promise in all three of his sports, the runner took cross country and track more serious and chose to dedicate his future to the two sports. Maier credits his passion for the sport to Walker. "He's the reason I'm doing track and cross country now," Maier said. "I owe it all to him." When it came to choosing a college, the future computer science major visited SIU along with Grand Valley State, Purdue and Marquette. "I chose SIU after my visit with the team," Maier said. "I had a good time, made
some friends and I really liked the campus." He claims that the transition into collegiate running is not an easy task as the workouts are more strenuous and at a different pace. Maier hit the ground running his freshman year in track setting several personal records in both indoor and outdoor running while placing fourth at the Bill Cornell Spring Classic in the 5000-meter, setting another personal record. During his first year of cross country, the computer science major notched two top ten performances, using his first year as a springboard to future success. The next season, Maier led the Salukis in all six meets while opening the season with back-to-back wins and being named All-MVC honorable mention. Later that year, his junior year of track, Maier continued to succeed as he went on to earn the MVC Elite 18 award for track and field, went All-MVC in the 10,000-meter run and was MVC champion in the 5,000-meter run, SIU's first title in the event since 2011. Although majoring in computer science, Maier does not have a clear-cut goal on what he will do with his major as he will graduate in May of 2018, however, he does plan to attend graduate school to utilize his fourth year of cross country. "As far as running post-collegiately goes, I would definitely like to run a Chicago Marathon," Maier said. Even though his time in an SIU uniform is beginning to run out, his legacy will still be left on the Saluki squad. "Josh is a dream athlete to coach," cross country coach Kevin Cataldo said. "He is one of the hardest working, dedicated and driven athletes. I couldn't ask for a better athlete."

SIU football looks to end of the season NATHAN DODD | @NathanMDodd
The Saluki football team's season has not developed the way that second-year head coach Nick Hill envisioned. After a 2-0 start to the season, SIU lost six of its last eight games and is in jeopardy of repeating its record of 4-7 from last season. Hill's squad already sealed its fate of a sub-.500 season, the fourth consecutive non-winning season for the Salukis. This is also the first year that Southern failed to earn a winning record at Saluki Stadium since 2013. After last Saturday's 28-20 loss on Senior Day to Youngstown State, Hill and the Salukis began preparations for Western Illinois. "It won't be easy," Hill said. "They're a really good team. We'll take every practice, every opportunity we have to get better, and that's what we'll use this week to get a win and end the season strong with a win at Western Illinois." SIU (4-6, 2-5 MVFC) has the chance to end the 2017 campaign on a positive note and enjoy the taste of victory in the offseason. The Leathernecks (7-3, 4-3 MVFC) are also in pursuit of a victory that would help secure their spot in the FCS Playoffs. "They have a really talented team with a lot of people back," Hill said. "Pretty much everybody on defense is back. Their front seven is as good as anyone that we've seen." WIU's defense relies heavily on its front seven and is tied for third in the MVFC with 29 total sacks on the season. Head coach Charlie Fisher also fields a defense that leads the league with 16 interceptions. The Salukis need to limit turnovers on offense in their effort to halt the Leathernecks' strong defense. Ball security begins with junior quarterback Matt DeSomer, who will get the start over sophomore Tanner Hearn this week. After leading SIU in passing, rushing and receiving yards against
Youngstown State, DeSomer led Hill to believe that he gives Southern the best chance to win. "Matt's not just a runner," the Saluki head coach said. "Given the chance, he can make throws, and we have to continue to expand that package." Hill explained that Hearn may continue to see reps in Saturday's game due to minor injuries that DeSomer suffered in the YSU game. SIU's defense will face their own challenge against a Western Illinois team that averages 36.3 points per game, the fourth most in the MVFC. "They have balance," Hill said. "They have a good quarterback, running back and wide receiver and a good, experienced offensive line." The leader of the WIU receiving corps, senior Jaelon Acklin, is also the leading receiver in the MVFC. Through 10 games, Acklin amassed 1,160 yards on 68 receptions, both league highs. He also ranks second with nine touchdown catches. "He makes tough catches," Hill said in regards to Acklin's ability. "He's done a good job making plays with his feet and breaking tackles." Despite big-play receivers and a dynamic defense, Hill stated that WIU's junior quarterback Sean McGuire "makes them go." On the season, McGuire has accumulated 2,492 passing yards and 22 touchdown passes, second in the league. He also leads the MVFC with a 65.8 completion percentage. "He's a really good quarterback," Hill said. "He's played for three years now. He can run the ball himself a little bit and pick up third downs." Win or lose, the matchup against WIU will be the final game that the Saluki football team competes in this season. Saturday's game in Macomb, Illinois is scheduled to kickoff at 1 p.m. "This is another great opportunity," Hill said. "It's our last chance to be together as a team."
