Some University of Wisconsin System schools are trying to lure out-of-state students by giving a discount to the children of alumni, under a program known as Return to Wisconsin. The program has been operating as a pilot, but the UW Board of Regents voted to make it permanent Friday. The Return to Wisconsin program gives up to a 25 percent discount off the price of out-of-state tuition to the children or grandchildren of alumni who don?t live in Wisconsin. Currently, seven institutions participate in the program. But don?t count on UW-Madison joining any time soon. It?s not cost-effective for the state?s flagship university, said Joanne Berg, vice provost for enrollment management.
