Plan: Get student input, not approval for UW hikes

University of Wisconsin campuses would be required to seek input from students but not their formal approval for special tuition increases under a proposed policy revision. The Board of Regents on Friday will consider the policy spelling out the process for approving differential tuition increases for specific programs and campus initiatives. UW-Madison, UW-Eau Claire and UW-La Crosse have won approval for major increases to improve their quality in recent years, but it hasnâ??t always been clear what role students play in the process.
