MADISON ââ?¬â? Gov. Jim Doyle says he will provide enough money in his budget for the University of Wisconsin System to meet its goals for graduating more students, expanding research and holding tuition down to an average of about 2.5 percent over the next two years.
Doyle�s plan, made in consultation with campus leaders, will provide $225 million over the next two years targeted primarily at helping the university graduate more teachers, nurses and engineers, the governor said in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press.While the proposal he will outline in his State of the State address on Tuesday does not meet every need the university identified in its budget request passed in August, Doyle said hits on the highest priorities.
