From the Article:

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee announced plans to lay off 32 tenured faculty members.

Chancellor Mark Mone revealed the layoffs in a letter sent Monday to faculty and staff.

The job cuts come after the UW System said it will close its campuses in Waukesha and Washington counties.

In addition to the layoffs, Mone recommended shutting down UW-Milwaukee's College of General Studies and its three academic departments: Arts & Humanities, Math & Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences & Business.

"I am deeply saddened by this scenario and wish it were not occurring. However, proceeding with the proposal is aligned with our mission and is the most responsible decision for UWM’s future," Mone said in the letter.

The UW Board of Regents must approve the cuts.

The Republicans want to make us dumber and more religious so that they take advantage of the dumb and religious people.
