UW Green Bay Affected by Negative Financial Assessment | Seehafer News

Lower enrollment and issues with budgets are causing operations at two-year campuses in the UW-Green Bay system.

According to WHBL, it’s specifically affecting the Sheboygan, Manitowoc, and Marinette campuses.

There were layoffs, including nine staff members, affecting library services at the campuses as well as a program aimed at helping high schoolers earn college credits.

Other majors in economics, environmental policy and planning, and the arts could also go away because of financial difficulties. Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers yesterday said the issues come from the Republican-led legislature, which has “spent more than a decade waging war on public education in Wisconsin, including our UW System and higher education institutions.”

He’s asked during the 2023-25 biannual budget process to invest in the UW system, to which he says Republicans funded the money toward a Joint Finance Committee fund and won’t be released by the committee.
