Erica Buytaert said she’s attending the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater because of its reputation as a good education school – even though it’s costing her $10,000 more per year than schools in her home state of Illinois.
University of Wisconsin System regents could give out-of-state students like Buytaert some welcome news this week.
The regents will consider a plan at their meeting Thursday and Friday in Madison to reduce nonresident tuition by $2,000 or more per year at all four-year UW campuses except UW-Madison in an effort to bring their rates in line with similar schools in other states.
