You have to wonder what’s going on at the UW System these days. In August, there was the Board of Regents’ recommendation to boost tuition 4.3 percent and have taxpayers provide 7.2 percent in additional funding in each of the next two years. The regents want money for a 5 percent pay raise for all employees in the new budget at a cost of around $50 million, with UW officials saying it’s needed to help keep faculty from leaving the system.
