With the appointments, administrators said it should help them reach out to the community and help generate more money toward tuition costs. There are now 15 members on the board, which is five short of its capacity.

"It does a lot for us because it expands the power of the board," UW-Waukesha Dean Patrick Schmitt said. "By expanding the board by one-half, it also signals what hopes to be a new direction."

New appointees are legal assistant Kathleen Eull, National Lewis University teacher David Hackbarth, Eppstein Uhen Principal Jonathan Parker, publisher Mark Sabljak and Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel. All five appointees have a previous connection to the school.
