Committee backs UW-Eau Claire tuition increase

Tuition would spike by $1,200 at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in the next four years under a proposal that cleared a key hurdle Thursday. A UW System Board of Regents committee approved the plan, known as the Blugold Commitment, despite concerns about a lack of specifics and the student body being divided over the proposal. The full regents board, which governs the UW System of 13 four-year universities and 13 two-year colleges, may give final approval Friday.
