Oshkosh Student Association Vice President Ben Blaser reported that the UW System will be pushing the expansion of online offerings last month, after UW System President Jay Rothman created a task force analyzing online offerings in Aug. 2022. In Nov. 2022, Rothman ordered UW-Platteville Richland to halt degree programs at the end of this semester due to financial pressure (though the Richland campuses’ closing and Rothman’s emphasis on increased online opportunities aren’t related). Rothman assembled a task force aimed at assessing the UW System’s online presence.
