With declining enrollment and fewer state dollars to work with, University of Wisconsin System interim President  Tommy Thompson says it’s time to think about consolidating some two-year UW campuses with nearby technical colleges. Thompson first mentioned the idea of consolidating UW System and Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) campuses during a Jan. 26 webinar hosted by the nonpartisan Wisconsin Policy Forum.

Southeast Wisconsin Urban Educators Trust Jill Underly

  MILWAUKEE, Wis. Pecatonica Area School District Superintendent and candidate for Wisconsin State Superintendent Jill Underly announced today she has received the endorsement of President Angelina Cruz, UW Parkside Associate Professor of Biology and Racine Alderperson Marva Herndon of the Milwaukee Board of School Directors. “Dr. Underly’s platform is centered around rooting out the inequity our public school students face in Wisconsin,” said Director Herndon. “She is dedicated to closing the opportunity gaps students of color and lower-income students face. Jill understands that we need to be enacting active anti-racist policies to ensure that every child receives the high-quality education they deserve. And Dr. Jill Underly is the candidate with the strongest proven record fighting for accountability for the school choice system.”
