Two of the 37 sexual harassment complaints that UW-Milwaukee hasn’t released were lodged against UWM police sergeants, and the lurid accusations resulted in warring decisions between the Office of Equity and Diversity Services (EDS) and provost, who found that one of the EDS decisions was riddled with factual errors when overturning it, Media Milwaukee student […]
