Tuition will rise 5.5 percent on most University of Wisconsin System campuses, but low-income students should be shielded from the impact under a budget approved Thursday.
Under a $2.2 billion annual operating budget approved by the Board of Regents, tuition will go up by $617 at the stateâ??s flagship school UW-Madison, $359 at UW-Milwaukee and about $280 at 11 other universities.
