Board of Regents appeals for flexibility amendment

The UW System on Wednesday (April 6) released a letter from Board of Regents President Chuck Pruitt and Vice President Michael Spector to the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Finance. The Regents are formally asking the legislators to add the Wisconsin Idea Partnership as an amendment to the state biennial budget. “…All UWS institutions, including UW-Madison, greatly need the new management tools that the Governor has proposed so that they can manage the proposed 2011-13 biennial budget reductions applicable to them, and help grow Wisconsin’s economy.”
