MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — UW Regents sign off on a tuition increase.
In-state students will again pay higher tuition next year to attend Universities of Wisconsin campuses.
Meeting at UW Platteville on Thursday, the Board of Regents unanimously approved the 3.75% increase that UW System President Jay Rothman had proposed just last week.
Regents President Karen Walsh said she understands the “dilemma” facing students, but that there are a lot of factors involved. Not least of those is the fact that 10 of the 13 four year schools are facing structural deficits.
Green Bay, La Crosse, Parkside, Platteville, River Falls, Stout, and Whitewater are all proposing even higher increases. There will also be specific program increases on some campuses.
This is the second straight tuition increase following a decade long freeze.
