The decision of the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents to cut tuition for out-of-state students by $2,000 per year was more than just misguided.
At a time when top graduates of Wisconsin high schools are having a harder and harder time getting into the UW, and finding it difficult to meet rising tuition costs once they have been admitted, the regents should not be coming up with ways to make it easier for students from outside the state to get a quality education.
