MADISON â?? University of Wisconsin chancellors warned today that the budget approved by the state Assembly would require them to cut courses, increase class sizes and delay needed building projects.
Gov. Jim Doyle said the budget would also hurt access to the UW System by limiting financial aid for low-income students and depriving resources that campuses need to make room for additional students.
Doyle, a Democrat, hosted university officials from around the state at a round-table event to discuss the potential impact of the Republican-controlled Assemblyâ??s budget on the system of 13 four-year universities and 13 two-year colleges.
