Got another cost going up here
for some Wisconsin
residents or out-of-state
residents who come here
to go to school.
Tuition going up at the
University of Wisconsin.
How much?
First of all, and you know
how this came to be.
Well, so
the tuition increase specifically
for tuition that, the Board of Regents
has approved is 2%.
What we're seeing now is
some Republicans, Tom Tiffany,
running
for governor, saying
we need another tuition freeze.
That freeze lasted for eight years.
The university said it was harming,
you know, quality of education.
I think
another point of tension
that's going to be really interesting
is the way that this affects Madison.
And in some ways, Milwaukee
compared to all the other schools,
because Madison
especially has this
international cachet, right?
And can
bring in students from out of state
and from across the world
who will pay full freight
and that offset some of those costs
in a way that Stevens Point,
Oshkosh are much more kind of aimed
at local Wisconsin kids.
You have Tom Tiffany
now coming out and saying
he wants to see fewer
international students.
He wants to put the W back in the UW.
What will that do for this kind of
other revenue source
that UW Madison has and how
that feeds into the system?
