Protesters Call For More Higher Education Funding - Marylee Williams, WPR

Sheltering under tents and umbrellas, about 50 people called for legislators to better fund the University of Wisconsin System. This is one in a series of protests focused on funding cuts and tuition freezes at UW campuses across the state within the last several months. Speakers at "Reclaim the UW" included Democratic gubernatorial candidates Tony Evers and Kelda Roys, as well as other state politicians. Rep. Katrina Shankland, D-Stevens Point, opened the demonstration. She said the state needs a grassroots effort to force funding of the UW System. https://www.wpr.org/protesters-call-more-higher-education-funding
