Description: The West Central Wisconsin Consortium was created in 1973. It includes the following UW-System institutions: Eau Claire, La Crosse, River Falls, and Stout. It consists of a Board of Trustees which includes the four Chancellors as members, a commission which includes eight members, the four Vice Chancellors, four faculty members (one from each institution), and the office of the Secretary/Coordinator (currently at River Falls). It was established to conduct a system-mandated review for graduate programming in the region. It has subsequently extended its activities to look for ways for working together which would take advantage of a larger cluster of institutions, for influence on public and system-wide policies, and for sharing of expertise and cooperative services without losing institutional autonomy. This collection contains information that only pertains to Stout. Included is correspondence, proposals, and reports. The correspondence includes interdepartmental memos, letters between WCWC institutions and the UW-System, and minutes of meetings. Only those proposals and reports dealing with Stout have been retained.
