UW System leaders disappointed in UW System funding
As reported in yesterday’s state media, “The Republican-controlled state budget-writing committee extended a tuition freeze for undergraduate residents attending University of Wisconsin campuses over the next two academic years. But the Joint Finance Committee again declined to ‘fund the freeze’ and provide the UW System with state money to offset what campuses would have received from inflation-level tuition hikes.” This from the Wisconsin State Journal and more from state news outlets:
