MILWAUKEE - (MPA-PPR)

It is Mardi Gras - Shove Tuesday- celebration and confession.

Mardi Gras

Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC recognizes in celebration the commitment and

leadership of the 1st Chancellor, Dr. Johannes Martin Klotsche for overseeing that the

University of WI-Milwaukee become an "URBAN UNIVERSITY".

The University of WisconsinMilwaukee was founded in the belief that "if metropolitan

Milwaukee was to be great, it would need a great urban public university". Pressed by the

growing strong demand for a large comprehensive public university that offered graduate

programs in Wisconsin's largest city, the Wisconsin state legislature passed a bill in 1955 to

create the University of WisconsinMilwaukee. UW-M history/Wikipedia.

1st Chancellor J. Martin Klotsche, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, 1956-1973

J. Martin Klotsche, or Joe, as everyone called him, had a career that paralleled that of UWM. A

native of Nebraska, he earned his Ph.D. in history from the University of Wisconsin and came to

Milwaukee in 1931 to teach at what was then Milwaukee State Teachers College. He became

president of the college in 1946 and oversaw its renaming as Wisconsin State College in 1951

and eventually as the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1956. After his retirement as

chancellor in 1973, he remained on the faculty of the history department until 1978.

J. Martin Klotsche helped to define UWM as an urban university, a subject on which he wrote

extensively, including the books "The Urban University and the Future of Our Cities" and "The

University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee: An Urban University."

He saw UWMs mission as a unique opportunity to give new meaning to the quality of urban

life".

University of WisconsinMilwaukee

University of WisconsinMilwaukee was founded with the belief that Milwaukee needed a

great public university to become a great city.

In 1955, the Wisconsin state legislature passed a bill to create a large public university thatoffered graduate programs in Wisconsin's largest city; the University of WisconsinMilwaukee

was established in 1956, as a result of the merger of the Wisconsin State College of Milwaukee

and the University of Wisconsin's Milwaukee extension, a UW branch that had been offering

graduate degrees in Milwaukee. The new university consisted of the WSC campus near the

lakefront and the University of Wisconsin extension building downtown Milwaukee.

The first commencement of the new University of WisconsinMilwaukee was held on June 16,

1957. On June 13, 1958, Socialist mayor Frank P. Zeidler was the first person to receive an

honorary doctorate from the university.

In 2006, UWMilwaukee was ranked as the ninth best Saviors of Our Cities by the New

England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE), because of its strong positive contribution ofcareful strategic planning and thoughtful use of resources that have dramatically strengthened

the economy and quality of life of Milwaukee, and was voted by the public as one of the top ten

"Gems of Milwaukee.

In Confession, MPA LLC calls on the present and 8th Chancellor, Dr. Michael Lovell, to honor

the Mission and provide a return on investments for the city of Milwaukee - Urban population,

especially African American and People of Color. The "Education Funding Volume" represents

huge monetary resources with NO return to the human capital - "densely populated" city of

Milwaukee, over a half-million people. They include the514 b i l l ,approved by both theWisconsin State Senate and Assembly, released state capital building funds for four different

UWM expansion projects at a total anticipated cost of$176 million (2010):

INFRASTRUCT URE GROWTH i s a SOCIO-ECONOMIC outcome that should be

front and center from the investment of the $$$MILLIONS invested in the University of

Wisconsin Milwaukee, the public higher education school that is statutorily mandated.

Unemployment, education attainment, technology attainment, health care, business research

and development and environmental justices are yet part of the SOCIO-ECONOMIC "head

winds" that loom over the Urban city of Milwaukee and doom its stakeholders/taxpayers to

risk continuous in the direction of Enduring Concentrated Poverty.

Millions of dollars are pumped into our midst/city that go un-check for transparency,

accountability and best practices.

This is the first of many MARDI GRAS (celebration and confession),

"funding/revenue/outcome" check and balance, that will ask for and comment on for

verification of spending - especially funds that are earmarked to empower African American,

other People of Color and the Work-Challenged (un-, under-skilled; un-, under-employed; un-,

under-financed neighborhood-level businesses; disabled; and re-entry - those returning from

WAR, INCARCERATION, boomerang employment, boomerang retirement and college-

certificated graduates unemployed) stakeholders.

We want to see how the funds are targeted and making a difference.

We want to see how the funds are being spent to impact fair share - or, if the funds are being

averted to the well-known monopoly and oligopoly business model that has been formed by

Caucasian power grabbers and their cronies with NO real concern to their wrongful act or

how they disenfranchise and/or exploit the masses within the city of Milwaukee - The Urban

city.
