Some faculty and staff at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee are concerned that expansion plans could hurt the university by moving academics away from the main campus to other locations, according to a recent survey.
But others said they support the initiatives, a central part of Chancellor Carlos Santiago’s ambitious plans to reshape the university.
UWM’s university committee recently surveyed 298 faculty and staff about the university’s master plan, which includes planned developments on the east side main campus, the planned engineering research complex in Wauwatosa, a School of Freshwater Sciences research facility at the lakefront and a downtown health research complex.
