Tuition rates would go up 5.5 percent on most University of Wisconsin campuses next school year under a proposal released Monday.If approved by the Board of Regents on Thursday, it will mark the fourth straight year that base tuition has increased 5.5 percent at the systemâ??s 13 four-year universities. The plan would also freeze tuition for 13,000 students enrolled at the 13 UW two-year colleges for the fourth straight year. The increases would be the sharpest on two campuses – the flagship UW-Madison and UW-Eau Claire – where regents have already approved tuition surcharges being phased in over four years to pay for more professors and services.Rates would jump by $638, or about 8.7 percent, for UW-Madison undergraduates as the campus enters the second year of its plan to raise tuition by an extra $1,000.
