Thursday, the UW System Board of Regents will consider yet another boost in tuition. System President Kevin Reilly is proposing a 5.5 percent hike, meaning students would pay between $300 and $400 more a year to attend a UW school. Reilly says the increase is needed to preserve educational quality in the face of deep cuts in state funding. As WUWM?s Erin Toner reports, the financial crunch is raising questions about the fundamental mission of higher education.
