Low enrollment forces UW-Platteville Richland to stop in-person programs

UW-Platteville’s Richland Campus plans to transfer its in-person programs to other campuses by the next academic year due to low enrollment and financial strain. The current enrollment at the Richland campus is only 60 degree-seeking students. Because of the low enrollment, UW System President Jay Rothman said in-person instruction at the Richland campus is “no longer tenable” despite the campus’ good faith efforts to get more students.  Rothman gave UW-Platteville’s Interim Chancellor Tammy Evetovich until January 15th to transfer all of it’s in-person degree programs to either UW-Platteville or the Baraboo campus.
