Fall tuition waiver eyed for those hit by Katrina (AP)

WEST BEND – The University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents said Friday it will waive fall tuition for students affected by Hurricane Katrina as long as legislative leaders approve.

Board President David Walsh said the waiver could be made official as early as next week for students who transferred to the University of Wisconsin after the storm closed their Gulf Coast schools.

In the meantime, the board agreed Friday not to bill the affected students for the fall term.
