Universities of Wisconsin is proposing a three-point-seven-five-percent tuition increase starting next year.
UW President Jay Rothman says the increase aligns with recent inflation, and is necessary to maintain the university system’s quality of education. Seven of the universities are asking for additional increases for financial aid and hiring faculty. UW tuition hasn’t gone up in the past decade. Tuition increases will be considered by the Wisconsin Board of Regents on April fourth.
