The top Republican in the Wisconsin Assembly says the University of Wisconsin can pay for its own free tuition program.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos yesterday told the UW-Madison student newspaper that he doesn’t see lawmakers agreeing to pay for tuition for some kids in Wisconsin. The UW announced its Tuition Promise Program last year, it promises free tuition for students from families making under 62 thousand-dollars a year. Vos said all families in Wisconsin are struggling with inflation. He also said the university should look at private donations to cover the cost of the program, not taxpayer dollars.
