Upcoming UW System budget faces possible 10 percent cut

The UW System Board of Regents submitted plans Monday for a possible 10 percent cut in state funding for the UW System at Gov. Jim Doyle’s request.

In August, the Board of Regents voted unanimously for their 2005-’07 biennium budget request, but a 10 percent cut would injure what many are calling “the heart and soul” of the UW System-its faculty and quality of education.
