Dear Editor: I found the anger in your Feb. 16 editorial “Put state students first” heartening, if entirely misplaced. If you’re truly concerned about middle-class taxpayers being priced out of a University of Wisconsin education, rather than asking the Board of Regents why it’s trying to rip off out-of-state students less, you should ask legislators like Mike Ellis why the university’s portion of the state budget is a half-billion current dollars short of what it was 20 years ago….
