Campus Connection: Too many non-residents enrolled at UW-Madison?

According to preliminary UW-Madison fall enrollment figures, 25.8 percent of all students on campus are non-residents, a total that tops the 25 percent out-of-state limit set by the UW System?s Board of Regents. “Keep in mind that enrolling a class of 6,000 to 7,000 people with the appropriate in-state and out-of-state residency requirements is a fine art,” says UW-Madison Provost Paul DeLuca.”There is a great deal of uncertainty associated with that process and we try to hit our numbers as precisely as we can.”
