Under the republican version of a state budget passed last night, the University System would take a hit of at least ninety six-million dollars.
UW System spokesman David Giroux says the university is at the stage that any cut would impact students and if the Assembly budget cuts became law the impact would be huge.
Giroux says it would affect nearly every element of campus life from academics to paying the utility bills to hiring campus police to keep students and staff safe. Not to mention the ability to attract high quality professors.
