Proposed UW cut could impact UWS positions

Already grappling with a $4.5 million budget gap, the University of Wisconsin-Superior could face even greater financial strain if Gov. Scott Walker has his way. The governor is proposing a 13 percent cut in state funding for the University of Wisconsin System in his 2015-2017 state budget proposal. That amounts to $300 million less to spread around the state’s 26 campuses over the next two years.
