Regent To Lawmakers: Get Serious

UW Board of Regents President David Walsh urged lawmakers to stop playing politics with university business, saying it worked against the Regents’ efforts to get past recent controversies and focus on far-reaching changes to financial aid and tuition policies.
Walsh at Friday’s board meeting in Madison said he was dismayed to see that critical press releases were issued soon after the board finished its preliminary discussion on ways to make college more affordable for low-income students at Thursday’s meeting.
