He did the reorganization along regional lines. That's a sound move. At the ground level where the real work is done, the economy of the state works in regions. If the economy revolves around regional development organizations like M7 in the southeast and NEW North in the northeast, should not the UWS, which posi- tions itself as "an economic engine" for the state, be organized along the same lines? Heretofore, the UW System has been Madison-centric. Its headquarters is there, when it should be in Milwaukee. Its great flagship campus is there, when we need a flagship campus in each region. That said, Cross' plan is a necessary first phase. The 13 two-year colleges will be con- solidated with nearby four-year campuses, and the Extension will be folded into UW- Madison's operations and into the UW System. In the M7 region, UW-Waukesha and UW- Washington County in West Bend will become part of UW-Milwaukee, the state's second Ph.D. flagship campus. That makes sense because: ■ The colleges have been struggling on the enrollment front, having dropped 32 per- cent since 2010. These highly valuable entry- level colleges need a home and support. ■ The colleges are already organized on a regional basis. The chancellor of the col- leges eliminated the dean positions, making the 13 colleges faceless in their communities. Groups of three or four campuses were put together for purely administrative purposes. ■ The two-year campuses have evolved into four-year campuses under the universi- ty center concept. Professors from the com- prehensive four-year universities deliver baccalaureate degrees there, such as a UWM nursing degree at West Bend. ■ The colleges, which will become branch campuses for the comprehensives, will be feeders for the four-year campuses, some of which also have enrollment chal- lenges. ■ The satellite cam- puses will still offer affordability through lower tuition for the first two years and the option for students to live at home and work locally. ■ The branch cam- puses are close to their local economies and can meet the demand for certain kinds of graduates, such as the two engineering degrees offered at the West Bend campus. ■ The underpaid professors at the col- leges presumably will be incorporated into the pay system for the four-year universities. They need to be treated more fairly for the excellent work they do with first- and second- year students. ■ Students at the branches should see smoother transfers to the main campuses. There should be no rush to a decision at the November meeting of the UW Board of Regents. There should be legislative over- sight. Here are just a couple of the important and sticky issues that need to be aired before the regional reorganization is put into place: ■ Ownership of the facilities — The buildings at the two-year level have been paid for at the local level, not by the UW System. Who owns them going forward and who pays for their maintenance, local gov- ernment or the parent campuses? Who will pay for needed expansions and upgrades at the 13 campuses? ■ Why weren't struggling four-year cam- puses included in the reorganization, such as UW-Parkside into UWM and UW-Superior into UW-Eau Claire? ■ Will the regional chancellors be given more autonomy over their cost structures? Cross has recommended a bold move. Give him credit. But it needs to be done right. And this may be an opportunity to the regents to be even bolder by regionalizing all 26 campuses, not just the 13 colleges.
