The leadership of the UW-Madison Faculty Senate is proposing a campaign to raise as much as $1 million for need-based scholarships for students as a way of resolving concerns about lack of access to the university for low-income residents.
The senate — the governance body of the university faculty — will vote on March 3 on a resolution that would launch a campaign to provide and raise funds for such scholarships.
The University of Wisconsin Foundation would match contributions to the initiative.
