Editorial notes on State Universities of Illinois salaries 2008 18 January 2009 These employee and salary lists were the result of eight requests made to the eight small state universities under the Illinois Fredom of Information Act in December 2008. The requests all asked for salary lists from the end of FY2008. The Excel files from Chicago State were edited to put them as sheets of a single file and the fonts were changed. The data from Eastern Illinois University was provided only on paper, and were subjected to OCR.
