Campus Connection: Walker’s lapse plan another big blow to UW System

Efforts by the University of Wisconsin System to have its disproportionate hit in state aid reconsidered have failed. On Friday, Gov. Scott Walker?s administration released its plan for cutting $123 million across state government by July, the Associated Press reports. This lapse — or one-time budget cut — was called for under the 2011-13 biennial budget passed earlier this year. And the UW System is absorbing the biggest hit, a whopping $46.1 million.
