More with Jon DeMaster and 715 Newsroom coverage:
University Chancellor James Schmidt spoke at yesterday’s Virtual Business Community Breakfast. He said there is a cliff for all of higher education coming in 2025 because that is the first year of much smaller high school graduating classes. To counter that, Schmidt says UW-Eau Claire is expanding its student search into Minnesota and trying to target students who they think would be a good fit for the campus in Eau Claire.
