BOSTON (Standard&Poor's) Dec. 20, 2012--Standard&Poor's Ratings Services said today that it has received information from Southern Illinois University (SIU) that they have increased the par value of their series 2012B housing and auxiliary facilities system (HAFS) revenue bonds to $44.7 million from $24.7 million. The rating is unaffected by this change (see "Southern Illinois University Board Of Trustees Southern Illinois University; Appropriations; Public Coll/Univ - Unlimited Student Fees," published on Nov. 6, 2012, on RatingsDirect.) The par value was increased to refund additional HAFS revenue bonds outstanding for interest cost savings only. There were no other updates provided."
