Regents Give Support to UW-SP Leaders

Zac Schultz:
Now for an update to a story we’ve been following at UW-Stevens Point. The UW Board of Regents has given their support to the Chancellor of UW-Stevens Point over the plan to cut majors to fill a budget deficit. Last month, faculty at the campus signed a letter of no confidence against Chancellor Bernie Patterson and Provost Greg Summers. Regents President John Behling said at last week’s meeting that Patterson and Summers have his full support as the plan moves forward. The plan to cut half a dozen majors is expected to be finalized as early as next spring.
