Wiley OKs student budget, delays Catholic funds

University of Wisconsin-Madison Chancellor John Wiley today delayed the question of how much latitude to give a Catholic organization in receiving student-funding dollars.

He “provisionally” approved the student budget but said he will not allow funds to be released until the issue is sorted out.

Wiley said in a memo he believes the university is not authorized to give money to explicitly religious activities, but noted that religious organizations can receive some funding for secular or educational programming.
