UW Board of Regents to consider raising cap on out-of-state undergraduates

A higher percentage of non-resident students would be allowed to enroll at University of Wisconsin campuses under a proposal being considered this week by the UW System Board of Regents. The plan, which would raise the cap on non-resident undergraduate enrollment from 25 percent to 30 percent over a three-year rolling average, has stirred criticism over whether it would make it harder for Wisconsinites to attend UW-Madison. The cap increase would not apply just to new freshmen but the entire undergraduate student body.
