The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire student government has voted in favor of charging students a fee to fund raises for professors and instructors, which are normally paid for with tax money and tuition.
Aaron Olson, the president of campus Student Senate, said the $20 annual fee is needed to draw attention to what he views as the Legislature’s underfunding of the UW System.
“Either we do the job of the Legislature or watch the quality of our education go down,” he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
