Cuts in UW budget to hit Madison hard

The newest Republican cut in the University of Wisconsin budget will cost the Madison campus about $9 million, according to Madison Vice Chancellor for Administration Darrell Bazzell.

“That will be a difficult challenge for us to manage,” Bazzell said in a Capital Times interview.

UW-Madison Chancellor John Wiley lamented that the school is a victim of a lack of will by lawmakers and the governor to dig deep to come up with long-term solutions to fund the state’s needs, including higher education.
