University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Chancellor Joe Gow talked about challenges the campus will face, particularly concerning expected state funding cuts, during an all-university address on Wednesday.
Gow used a line from President Franklin D. Rooseveltâ??s second inaugural address â?? â??We refused to leave the problems of our common welfare to be solved by the winds of chance and the hurricanes of disasterâ? â?? to helps explain the road ahead.
â??It reminds us that we canâ??t just wait and hope that the problems will go away, we have to take action now to get ready,â? Gow said.
