Universities of Wisconsin President Jay Rothman proposes tuition increases | Central Wisconsin News

Universities of Wisconsin President Jay Rothman on Tuesday announced his proposal to increase tuition for resident undergraduates by up to 5% for the 2025-26 academic year. Rothman’s proposal would increase tuition by 4% at all universities, with an optional 1% additional for a maximum of 5%. All universities except UW-Green Bay plan to adopt the additional 1 percent if the proposal is approved by the Board of Regents, which will consider the plan on July 10. Further, UW-River Falls is seeking an additional increase as part of an ongoing effort to support student success initiatives, which would bring its resident undergraduate increase to 5.8%. “Preserving quality while maintaining our ability to be a leader on tuition affordability in the Midwest is a top priority,” Rothman said. “After a decade of a tuition freeze and lagging state aid, we believe we have struck a balance for students and families with this proposal and the recent state investments in the UWs as part of the 2025-27 biennial budget.”
