U-W Due for Enrollment Cap, Regent Says (WPR)

(MADISON) Enrollment keeps growing at the University of Wisconsin but in the past couple budgets, state support has fallen flat. One UW Regent thinks it may be time to consider some type of enrollment cap.

A state audit released last year found the number of full-time students at the University had grown by more than 10,000 in only six years. State aid to the University also grew over that time, but not as fast as enrollment. It�s left to students to pick up a bigger share of the cost of their education. (Third item.)
