Walker also said he won’t cut funding to the University of Wisconsin System in his next budget, but he may try to reduce tuition. And he rejected a Republican lawmaker’s suggestion that the state withhold funding from UW-Madison if it doesn’t drop a course on race relations called “The Problem of Whiteness.”
“I could certainly as a citizen or as a father who pays part of my kids’ tuition roll my eyes and raise concerns about some of the classes,” Walker said. “But our focus in the budget should be on overall performance and not individual classes.”
