Walker budget could mean layoffs at UWMC - Bob Dohr, Daily Herald

If proposed cuts to the University of Wisconsin System are approved, UW Marathon County would lose $480,000 in state funding and might have to cut 7.5 positions — on top of two dozen jobs eliminated in recent years. The new round of layoffs would be necessary if Gov. Scott Walker's budget were approved by the Legislature and the funding cuts for UWMC were translated solely into paring jobs, said UWMC Campus Dean Keith Montgomery. "It depends on what areas we have to make reductions in," Montgomery said. http://www.wausaudailyherald.com/story/news/education/2015/02/12/proposed-cuts-result-positions-trimmed-uwmc/23325065/
