Advocates want to spare two-year campuses from funding cuts, UW president disagrees

A couple of lawmakers want to shield the UW-Extension and two-year campuses from the proposed $300 million cuts to the University of Wisconsin System, as proposed in the state budget. However, System President Ray Cross has said none should be exempt, otherwise all campuses would want the same deal. “I appreciate that,” he says, “however I don’t believe that’s the right solution.”
