UW-Madison resident undergraduates would pay $364 more for annual tuition in the 2005-06 school year under a resolution before the UW Board of Regents for a vote today.
The dollar amount – about half as much as the yearly hikes students paid the past two school years – equals a 6.9 percent annual tuition increase. Gov. Jim Doyle had proposed a 6.2 percent hike as part of the University of Wisconsin System budget for the fiscal year that started July 1. System officials said they need the extra money to help cover higher-than-expected bills for items such as utilities and debt payments.
