UW-Madison School of Education Dean Julie Underwood, School of Nursing Dean Katharyn May and Dean of Students Lori Berquam hosted an open forum Monday to discuss the New Badger Partnership, at which they shared their opinions on the partnership and answered questions from the community.
Covering effects of the New Badger Partnership, including proposed changes to tuition and financial aid, the trio was largely supportive of the plan, including its effects on their respective departments.
May said she could organize expenditures more easily with the new flexibilities in spending.
""I will be so happy when money is money, and we can use it where we need it,"" May said.
The deans noted concerns with the partnership as well. Underwood said she thinks there may be new ""challenges of staying connected"" to her colleagues at other UW campuses if UW-Madison splits from the UW System.
