University of Wisconsin Chancellor Biddy Martin announced to a group of student leaders Tuesday an initiative to create differential tuition for all UW undergraduates to increase financial aid and the number of faculty positions.
The Madison Initiative for Undergraduates, which will go to the UW System Board of Regents for approval in May, would increase in-state tuition by $250 and out-of-state tuition by $750 per year over a four-year period. This amounts to a $2,500 and $7,500 increase for in-state and out-of-state students respectively over the course of four years.
