UW-Madison students are paying $250 more this year for the Madison Initiative for Undergraduates, a program that Chancellor Biddy Martin pitched last year to improve undergraduate education. So what are they paying for? The university has also already spent some of the funding to alleviate bottlenecks in popular courses this fall. In total, the university has allocated about $3.8 million out of $10 million available. Almost $2 million of it is for new faculty, said Aaron Brower, vice provost for teaching and learning.
