New University of Wisconsin System President Jay Rothman was confronted Thursday with the real human cost of his decision to end in-person degree programs at the Richland Center campus.
About a dozen students, or roughly 20% of the 60-person student body at UW-Platteville Richland, delivered a petition to Rothman at the UW Board of Regents meeting that was signed by nearly 1,400 individuals pleading for the campus to be saved.
