In recent years, University of Wisconsin System President Kevin Reilly has stressed the need to keep tuition increases “reasonable and predictable.”
On Thursday, the Board of Regents is expected to approve a 5.5 percent tuition hike for state students attending one of the UW Systemâ??s four-year institutions during 2010-11. This proposed increase is part of the systemâ??s 2010-11 operating budget, which is to be voted on during regents meetings hosted by UW-Milwaukee.
Reilly is proposing yet another tuition freeze at the systemâ??s 13 two-year colleges — keeping tuition at $4,268, the same as in 2006. The freeze is an attempt to keep the UW Colleges as an affordable entry point to the UW System.
