Students, community members push back against end of classes at longtime college campus - Rich Kremer, WPR

A group of students and community members from Richland Center are trying to prevent the end of in-person classes at their college campus next summer. The group delivered a petition with 1,400 signatures urging University of Wisconsin System President Jay Rothman, state lawmakers and Gov. Tony Evers to find a way to save UW-Platteville Richland. The students and some Richland County officials traveled to Madison on Thursday to deliver the petition and testimonials to Rothman during the December meeting of the UW System Board of Regents.
