UW System Receives Funding in Governor's Proposal
Walker's Budget for UW SystemPart of Governor Scott Walker’s budget includes additional money for the 26 universities and colleges in the UW System. The focus of the $181 Million funding is to turn out graduates primed for high demand professions.
UW-Marathon County Campus Dean, Keith Montgomery, says its welcomed funding that might help locally.
“I think this funding is a strategic investment in education and provides funding and flexibility so that we can make decisions that make sense for us.”
The $181 million will make up much but not all of the $315 million in cuts that universities took during the current budget.
This increase reverses a trend in which State funding of universities had taken a back seat to the money going to prisons.
