Downtown UW School Of Engineering? Get Involved
Here's a valuable website that makes the case in favor of UW-M locating its new School of Engineering downtown, and not on the County Grounds in Wauwatosa.
Over the years, various governmental bodies, non-profits and hospitals have been moving jobs to the County Grounds, gutting the near west side/downtown and forcing thousands of central city residents, patients and others onto the bus or the freeway.
This would be the ultimate publicly-sponsored outbreak of sprawl - - inconveniencing students, and faculty, and disconnecting portions of the student body.
Thanks again Jim!
