No Tuition Increase For UW System

UW System leaders are set to approve a budget that includes no tuition increases for resident under-graduates. Provisions in the state budget lift a freeze on resident under-graduate tuition that has been in place since 2013. That would leave the Board of Regents free to raise tuition. Governor Tony Evers must act on the budget by Friday. The regents are set to vote on the budget for the system’s next academic year this Thursday. That spending plan keeps resident under-graduate tuition flat. Costs for a typical resident under-graduate living on campus would grow only 1% under the spending plan.
