MADISON — UW-Madison Chancellor Carolyn â??Biddyâ? Martin declared Monday that the university was a statewide economic driver that could do even more to foster small and big businesses alike during tough times.
Martin called the financial stress facing the state â??unprecedentedâ? but said that cutting the UW too much in the next budget would diminish the universityâ??s stature and harm economic development in the long term.
