Academic Staff Assembly: monetary state cuts to UW unfair, too large

The UW-Madison Academic Staff Assembly passed a resolution Monday calling recent budget cuts to the UW System too large. In October state legislators announced $65.7 million in cuts to the UW System to make up for a lapse of expected state revenue. The UW System accounts for 38 percent of total cuts included in the state?s lapse. About $25 million of these cuts will go to UW-Madison over the next two years.
