What you won’t see or hear on official video of UW regents meeting disrupted by protest

The University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents handed out annual awards Friday for university people and programs that “foster access and success in university life for historically underrepresented populations.” You can see and hear about the recipients and the work they are doing on the archived video of the last week’s meeting posted on the Board of Regents website. What you won’t see or hear on the footage are the protests of students, organized through United Council of UW Students, who came to the regents meeting to shout about how they are not being heard by university leaders on the issue of climate for students of color on system campuses.
