University of Wisconsin-La Crosse student and faculty leaders will travel to Madison later this week to seek UW System Board of Regentsâ?? approval for its Growth, Quality and Access plan.
â??The implications for the future of the university and the community are huge in terms of enhancing the quality of the university, stimulating the local economy and increasing our visibility in the region,â? said UW-L Chancellor Joe Gow.
The board of regents will vote on the plan Friday, assuming the Business, Finance and Audit Committee recommends it Thursday.
The plan is a modified version of UW-Lâ??s Growth and Access proposal that failed to be included in the 2007-09 state budget.
