In unusual move, UW-Madison officials apparently asked legislators to remove a $47 million School of Nursing building from the state budget, said Rep. Spencer Black, D-Madison.
Assembly Democrats voted to cut funding for the project during a closed-door meeting Wednesday night, following a motion sponsored by Black.
â??It was great that it was put in because nursing was a high priority,â? said Julie Underwood, interim provost at UW-Madison. â??We also understand with the stateâ??s fiscal situation, itâ??s hard to get all sorts of things. We understand the balance.â?
