SIU Interim President Kevin Dorsey released a statement yesterday, saying that SIU chancellor Dr. Carlo Montemagno had died. The university will share information about honoring him in consultation with his family. Dorsey has been asked by the SIU Board of Trustees to convene to a special meeting as soon as possible, in order to appoint an interim chancellor. Until then, Dorsey says that he will work directly with SIU Carbondale’s leadership team, in order to ensure that the university continues to move forward. More details will be released once they become available.
