Study: UW-Madison chips in $12B to Wis. economy (AP)

The University of Wisconsin-Madison released a report Wednesday claiming that the campus contributes $12.4 billion to the state economy, as officials argued for flexibility measures in the next state budget to preserve that impact. The NorthStar Economics study also credits the university for creating, directly or indirectly, some 128,000 jobs across the state.
