Survey: State residents say UW unaffordable

A survey about the University of Wisconsin System reveals that the people of Wisconsin simultaneously love the UW and also feel deep frustration about it.

The report, which was conducted last fall by the Madison-based Wood Communications Group, became public and was immediately politicized by legislative critics and Republican office-seekers Thursday.

It began as attempt to gauge UW’s support among the public and to find ways to improve the university’s standing with the business community.
