Ward shares budget reaction with faculty, staff colleagues

Interim Chancellor David Ward and Chancellor-designate Tom Harden were in Madison Tuesday to hear Gov. Jim Doyle present his 2009-11 state budget proposal. The two were able to talk briefly with the governor afterward. In a message today to UW-Green Bay faculty and staff, Ward shared his views on the proposed budget, funding of the Growth Agenda, and prospects for a pay freeze for UW employees instead of layoffs and furloughs. Ward’s message is archived at the Chancellor’s site.
