Lawmakers in Madison don’t seem to have too much of a problem with the University of Wisconsin turning to out-of-state students to pay the bills. A new audit shows UW schools saw almost 13-thousand fewer Wisconsin students from 2008 to 2018, but saw an additional ten-thousand out-of-state students over the same ten years.
Sen. Rob Cowles says he’d only be worried about those numbers if the UW system was shutting-out Wisconsin students in order to get more tuition money from out-of-state students, but he doesn’t know that to be the case.
