At UW-Eau Claire, campus leaders say they must close three computer labs, offer fewer classes, and leave faculty positions open because of tight budgets. Thatâ??s why administrators are proposing a tuition increase of $1,500 over four years. Called the Blugold Commitment, itâ??s how UW-Eau Claire hopes to maintain services in the face of stagnant state support. If the initiative sounds familiar, itâ??s because UW-Eau Claire is the third University of Wisconsin System school in as many years to introduce a campus-wide tuition increase, a move called differential tuition.
