ICYMI: The UW Board of Regents held an emergency meeting last Saturday and voted 9-8 to reject a proposed deal between the Universities of Wisconsin president and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, who has been blocking pay raises for tens of thousands of UW System employees as part of an effort to force the UW system to kill its diversity programs. Pat Kreitlow visited the UW-Eau Claire campus and has reaction from a member of the Board of Regents and the ranking member on the Assembly Colleges & Universities Committee.

Support Our Cause

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Wisconsinites and our future.

Since day one, our goal here at UpNorthNews has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Wisconsin families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
