A new report gives the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents several potentially controversial options to raise more tuition revenue in coming years. The regents are expected to consider the report but take no action on any of the options at their meeting in Madison next week. The
options include raising the below-average tuition at some in-demand
schools and continuing a trend of charging more to fund specific
programs and initiatives. UW System President Kevin Reilly
convened the task force last year to study ways to boost revenue while
trying to keep the system affordable. The group’s report lists the positive and negative approaches to different tuition and financial aid models.
