Soaring university tuition is reducing access and especially hurting middle class families, students told the Board of Regents today.
The comments came as regents prepared to act on a proposed 6.9 percent resident tuition increase in the University of Wisconsin’s 2005-06 budget. The proposal would boost in-state undergraduate tuition by $364 to $5,618 for two semesters. That’s 59.7 percent higher than in 2000-01.
