The effort to add out-of-state students at the University of Wisconsin is part of an effort to add students overall, university officials said this morning.
Regent President David Walsh and Executive Senior Vice President Donald Mash were at the Capitol this morning to speak before a Legislative panel on the university’s controversial plan to give tuition discounts to out-of-state students. The plan, they said, would increase the number of those students, who pay much more than in-state students, thus increasing the university’s overall pot of money.
