Chancellor Biddy Martin unveiled a bold plan that would raise the tuition bills of most UW-Madison students in an effort to preserve the quality of the institution, while also making more need-based financial aid available to those who are being priced out of the state’s flagship university.
“Her honeymoon is over now,” said Noel Radomski, director of the Wisconsin Center for the Advancement of Postsecondary Education, a think tank on campus. “She’s putting out a bold proposal. But this is a very good service, and I truly mean that, to put this out on the table for the public, the students, the faculty and staff to look at.”
