UW Regents say they may have to raise tuition if lawmakers don’t give them more money in the new state budget.
Regents yesterday said Governor Evers’ proposed budget would leave the university about 130 million-dollars short of what they asked for. The university asked for 435 million over the next two years, the governor proposed just over 300 million. Regents haven’t raised tuition since the legislature rolled back the state-mandated tuition freeze back in 2021. A UW spokesman yesterday said everything is on the table. The governor said UW Regents can raise tuition if they’d like, but he said he doesn’t see it happening.
