UW tuition cap would be mistake

The future of higher education in Wisconsin is at stake as budget negotiations continue between the state Assembly and Senate.

One item of particular concern is a proposed cap to limit the growth in tuition paid by University of Wisconsin System students to 4% a year for four years.

If approved, the tuition cap might preclude needed differential tuitions for high-demand majors, proposals that have been endorsed by students and approved by the Board of Regents.
