University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Chancellor Corey King released an announcement Monday is response to an announcement made by UW-Milwaukee Chancellor Mark Mone, who stated, also on Monday, that the university’s branch campus in Waukesha will close after the spring 2025 semester.

Within his announcement, King wrote: “This news naturally raised questions about other branch campuses in Wisconsin.”

King cited an earlier message in which he detailed UW-Whitewater’s “multiple successes,” along with the university’s plans to “drive growth and evolve UW-Whitewater at Rock County.”

Additionally, the chancellor wrote: “I want to reassure our entire Warhawk community — and especially our students and colleagues at the Rock County campus — our plan has not changed.

“The positive enrollment trajectory, vibrancy of academic and co-curricular programs, and strong ties to the community of the Rock County campus make it not only viable, but integral to the region.

“I’ll conclude by reaffirming our commitment to investing in our branch campus. The future of URock is bright. And we will continue to provide transformational educational experiences in the Rock County region.”
