In-state students will once again pay a higher tuition rate to attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison — but their cost remains lower than at peer schools.
On Thursday, the UW system’s Board of Regents approved a 2% tuition increase for resident undergraduates next school year. Tim Nixon was the only regent to vote against the measure.
“We’ve increased tuition four years in a row. I personally have not been provided with sufficient information to believe it is again necessary. No matter how reasonable the increase, the burden on students, parents and the public is real,” Nixon said at the board’s meeting at UW-Milwaukee.
