The latest plan for the UW System wouldn’t get rid of campuses, but would regionalize the school.
State Senator Roger Roth is asking lawmakers to vote today on a plan to organize the UW System’s 13 campuses into four regions. UW-Madison would be exempt, of course. Roth says regionalizing the school would allow the university to save money on everything from IT to food ordering. He says the university needs to modernize. UW President Tommy Thompson says the regional idea is a step in the wrong direction.
