It has come to my attention that some in state government are floating the idea of offering free tuition across the University of Wisconsin system for those college grads who agree to live and work in Wisconsin for 10 years.
On the surface this seems like a good way to stem the vast brain drain keeping Wisconsin a backwater in both the nation’s and the world’s economy. However, the reality is that this is an extremely expensive idea whose results would be marginal, at best.
