The University of Wisconsin System will ask lawmakers for $22.6 million to boost undergraduate enrollment by 5,900 over two years through better retention and recruitment, according to a budget document released Monday. The plan calls for hiring additional instructors, academic advisers and others to teach and serve the extra students. But the money would also pay for programs proven to help retain students, such as first-year seminars and undergraduate research projects, UW System spokesman David Giroux said.
