Department of Education Executive Order
The Universities of Wisconsin are aware of the executive order signed on March 20 related to the continuation of the Department of Education.

The Universities of Wisconsin are working to learn more about the impacts of this action, and as more guidance is provided by relevant authorities, further updates will be shared.
