MADISON, Wis. (AP) - University of Wisconsin-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank says she’ll ask the university’s governing board to raise tuition for out-of-state and professional students.
The Wisconsin State Journal reports (https://bit.ly/2d6AjdU ) that Blank also told faculty Monday that the flagship school in Madison will distribute $9 million in raises and bonuses to faculty and academic staff.
The initiatives were part of Blank’s State of the University speech to the faculty senate.
Blank said the university needs to stabilize its financial basis as state funding declines. The last time regents approved tuition increases for non-resident and professional school students at UW-Madison was in spring 2015.
Blank says tuition at UW-Madison’s professional schools are “very low.”
