On Campus: Walker tells UW Regents, ‘It isn’t just always about more money’

Gov.-elect Scott Walker told the UW Board of Regents on Thursday that he supports the University of Wisconsin System?s goal of producing more college graduates, but wants to find creative and innovative ways to do that. And that doesn?t necessarily mean funneling more money into the university system, he said. “I know in these challenging times with these challenging budgets, we wanna make sure we not only maintain but seek in many ways through aggressive initiatives to add more college graduates in the state,” he told the Board. Adding: “It isn?t just always about more money. It?s going to be about finding ways to take the dollar we have, finding ways with flexibility, innovation and creativity, to apply those dollars in the best way possible to meet those goals.”
