Cross budget focuses on state’s economy


UW System President Ray Cross on Thursday offered a biennial budget proposal focused on developing the “talent and ideas to improve Wisconsin’s economy and impact the world.” His remarks, which he presented to the UW System Board of Regents during its meeting in Oshkosh, were part of a larger presentation of his vision for the UW System’s future. Cross said the current social and economic climate dictates that the System provide strategic leadership, management, and accountability to its 26 institutions across the state.
