The University of Wisconsin System's top leader says he may have to close campuses and raise tuition if the Legislature's Republican-controlled finance committee follows through with proposed budget cuts.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos has called on the committee to cut $32 million from the system over the next two fiscal years, an amount he says is equal to what it spends on diversity and equity officers biennially. The committee is expected to vote on including the cut in the 2023-25 state budget as it wraps up its work on the spending plan Thursday night.
System President Jay Rothman told the Senate universities committee on Monday that the $32 million cut could mean campus closures, ending programs and raising tuition, the Wisconsin State Journal reported. "It's just that simple," Rothman said. "We do not have the resources to continue to simply do what we have done before."
