The Wisconsin College Republicans filed an official complaint Monday against the University of Wisconsin-Madison, claiming the university violated federal student privacy laws.
The allegations stem from an e-mail UW-Madison sent to an undisclosed number of students who previously received Wisconsin Higher Education Grants, but were not awarded them this year due to the undecided state budget. The message told students Gov. Jim Doyle would hold a press conference today at Memorial Union to address UW System financial aid concerns and the need for a state budget.
