Of course, the "dc=uwm,dc=edu" would be preferred and more intuitive, so 
at some point, after you solve other issues, you should decide to move.  
But you can surely take your time.  OpenLDAP 2.2 and significantly 2.3 
provide means to ease this transition, i.e. you can keep your database 
as is and simultaneously publish the same data under a virtual naming 
context, e.g. keep data under "o=uwm.edu" and add a virtual naming 
context "dc=uwm,dc=edu".  See slapd-ldap(5) man page and (2.3 only) 
slapd-relay(5) and slapo-rwm(5) man pages.
