UW System split, large funding cuts in budget

While some are optimistic, others remain hesitant about substantial changes to the UW System proposed in Gov. Scott Walker?s 2011-?13 budget. In an effort to combat the budget deficit, Walker proposed a plan to remove UW-Madison and UW-Milwaukee from the UW System, in addition to cutting $250 million in state aid from the system, $125 million of which will be directly from UW-Madison.
