Survey says: UWM faculty members oppose campus
May 19, 2009
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee will pursue its plan to build an engineering campus in Wauwatosa despite negative feedback from faculty.
The university surveyed staff members to get their opinion on the campus plan, and the mostly negative reaction stems from faculty still carrying hard feelings about an earlier plan to relocate all or most of the engineering college staff to Wauwatosa, said Alan Horowitz, chairman of the university committee overseeing long-range planning for engineering and natural sciences. The university now intends to move only research staff to the proposed Wauwatosa campus, he said.
“I think people are still reacting to the original proposals, which were not well-received,” Horowitz said.
