More than 100 UW-Eau Claire students joined Chancellor James Schmidt Feb.11 at a Chancellor's Roundtable to have a conversation about the impact on UW-Eau Claire of the $300 million cut to the UW System included in Governor Walker's 2015-17 state budget proposal. Below, Chancellor Schmidt discusses the issues covered during that conversation, including how the cut would affect students' classroom experiences and their financial aid, the impact on faculty, what it would mean for the UW System to be designated as a public authority (another provision in the governor's budget proposal), and more.
