University of Wisconsin-Platteville’s chancellor is retiring after leading the school through a period of tremendous growth.
David Markee announced Tuesday he plans to retire in August after leading the university since 1996.
UW-Platteville is largely known for its engineering program, and under Markee’s leadership, it became the fastest growing university in the state. Its enrollment increased nearly 50 percent over the past 10 years to 7,500 students.
