A state agency has tentatively approved a University of Wisconsin System plan that would give campuses flexibility in implementing a mandatory furlough order.
Gov. Jim Doyle had ordered 16 unpaid furlough days for all state workers over the next two years to help close a $6.6 billion state budget shortfall.
His plan specified the dates of four furlough days per year.
But UW President Kevin Reilly said some of the days could conflict with class schedules.
