The next casualty stemming from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh’s budget crisis may be the campus bookstore.
The store is one of three left across the UW System that is not run by a third-party chain. Outsourcing the operation would save some money in the short term but likely increase costs for students and lead to poorer service on campus, according to a recent report by a university task force. The report raised the question of whether there would be any long-term financial benefit to the switch.
