Nearly 30% of administrative positions will be cut on campuses as leadership and management of the state’s two-year public colleges are consolidated into regions over the next several months.
The pending layoffs — estimated at the equivalent of 83 full-time positions — are in response to state budget cuts and two more years of a tuition freeze handed down by state lawmakers and Gov. Scott Walker, announced University of Wisconsin Colleges and UW Extension Chancellor Cathy Sandeen on Tuesday.
