Campus administrators in the University of Wisconsin System are raising student fees without appropriate oversight by students and the Board of Regents, according to an audit set to come before the regents today.
But Regent Thomas Loftus, who called for the audit, doesn’t want to limit the fees or make other major changes to them. He said that with dwindling state support, the UW System needs to be able to raise fees as it sees fit.
“We might find ourselves in a situation in which the system has to rely on tuition and fees a lot more,” he said.
