UW Seeks $190M to Freeze Tuition | Madison News
Description
UW regents are asking for $190 million to freeze tuition through 2029 and launch bold initiatives: “Wisconsin Work and Learn” for low-income students, “Tech for Tomorrow” and “Accelerate Wisconsin” to train 300K workers and launch 2,500 businesses, plus “Healthy Wisconsin” to train 35K healthcare pros and “Cures for Tomorrow” to fund critical disease research. With chancellors and students backing the plan—and UW President Kyle Weatherly noting it aligns with both major gubernatorial platforms and returns $21–$23 for every dollar invested—this budget is framed as a smart bet for Wisconsin’s future workforce, economy, and health.
