UW tuition is still up in air (AP)

University of Wisconsin System students will have to wait until next month to find out how much their tuition for the coming academic year will cost.

The UW System Board of Regents announced Friday it will delay a decision on tuition increases from next week until early August because of uncertainty surrounding the state budget.

The regents said they are shooting for a 3.3 percent increase, which would boost tuition by $198 at UW-Madison and $150 at most other campuses. But they said the increase could grow if lawmakers do not fully fund raises for faculty and staff or if they cut funding in other parts of the system budget.
