One of Wisconsin’s greatest strengths is its robust university system, which includes 13 four-year campuses spread across the state, from Superior in the north to Milwaukee in the south; from the flagship institution in Madison to west-central Wisconsin’s own UW-Eau Claire, UW-Stout and UW-River Falls.
Unfortunately, the Board of Regents, the system’s governing body, lacks the same geographic scope. Large areas of the state have no direct representation when system policy is set.
