UW-P leaders continue considering major cuts in response to falling enrollment, revenue - BENNET GOLDSTEIN, Telegraph-Herald

 University of Wisconsin-Platteville leaders continue to plan for budget cuts, but even after implementing campuswide, nonessential hiring freezes, reorganizing departments to reduce building and equipment use and utilizing unspent funds, hard decisions remain. “This is not a new situation at Platteville,” said financial manager Ronald Reck, who specializes in budget restructuring for financially stressed organizations. “We’ve been working on deficits for at least the last six years.” As they look for long-term solutions, university leaders have said they will prioritize programs and services that align with UW-P’s mission and vision, both of which stress the importance of student success, diversity, opportunity and civic engagement.
