Some top Wisconsin university officials fear that if UW-Madison splits from the rest of the University of Wisconsin System it will result in unnecessary duplications, competition for limited resources and skyrocketing tuition.

Now, with a proposal to separate the flagship university from the rest of the fleet, some leaders are concerned Wisconsin will return to what they see as the bad old days.
