Dr. Charles E. Morris Jr. and Dr. Jeanne B. Morris Educational Equity Fund
This endowment was established in 1997 by family, friends, and colleagues of Jeanne and Charles Morris. Charles retired as vice chancellor for academic student affairs for the Board of Regents and associate professor of mathematics at Illinois State University. Jeanne is professor of education emeritus at Illinois State. The initial idea was to create a fund that would provide a minimum of $1,200 annually to fund initiatives or activities that enhance educational equity at ISU and support programs in the College of Education. The primary goal of the fund is to promote or reward efforts that enhance educational equity by increasing levels or rates of participation by members of underrepresented groups at ISU. Assets of this endowment are invested in the Illinois State University Endowment Investment Pool. The Dr. Charles E. Morris Jr. and Dr. Jeanne B.
