- Now for more state news and funding for higher education.
The UW Board of Regents voted 16-1 Thursday
to approve the System's $6.2 billion budget for 2017-18.
The spending plan divvies up state aid to the campuses
differently than in the past,
giving UW-Madison a smaller share.
Instead of its usual 38% share which works out to about $9.4
million, Madison will see just under $3 million.
Regents say the other UW campuses need the money more.
The budget also keeps undergraduate resident tuition
flat, but raises student fees and housing costs
at the system's four-year schools.
And that is our program for tonight.
I'm Frederica Freyberg.
Have a great weekend.
