Higher Education in Wisconsin

We take a look at the future of higher education in Wisconsin, as we assess the effects of Governor Walker?s proposed budget cuts and reorganization plan for the UW system and the state?s technical colleges. Guests will include UW-Stevens Point Chancellor Bernie Patterson, UW Regent Mark Bradley and Northcentral Technical College President Lori Weyers. The program will look at the impact of proposed budget cuts of 30% of state funding for technical colleges, and 11 to 13% for UW system schools. The program will also look at the impact of a proposal to split UW Madison from the rest of the UW System. Chancellor Patterson, Regent Bradley, President Weyers and Moberg will be joined by UW Marathon County Dean Keith Montgomery for a public forum on the topic Monday evening at UW Marathon County’s Center for Civic Engagement in Wausau.
