University of Wisconsin campuses will be required to get student input before recommending special tuition increases but they wonâ??t need studentsâ?? permission under a policy adopted Friday. During a meeting in Fond du Lac, the Board of Regents approved a policy spelling out the process campuses must follow before implementing extra tuition increases. UW-Madison, UW-Eau Claire and UW-La Crosse have been granted approval to hike undergraduate tuition in order to pay for hiring more faculty and improving services. Individual academic programs, including the UW-Madison business and engineering schools, also have received such permission.
