UW President ‘Disappointed’ in UW-M’s Agreement With Protesters

Just days after University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s chancellor finalized an agreement with campus protesters, the head of the UW is expressing his disappointment in that deal. University of Wisconsin President Jay Rothman took to social media to explain how the university moves forward after weeks of campus protest camps. “Maintaining viewpoint neutrality on challenging public issues is critically important, especially in situations where students and other university stakeholders on multiple sides of an issue are in vehement disagreement.
