If you?re looking for some good news regarding the funding of higher education in Wisconsin, you can stop reading. The annual Grapevine report, which tracks the funding of higher education across the United States, indicates three states slashed state appropriations for colleges and students by at least 20 percent between 2010-11 and the current academic year. As you probably guessed, Wisconsin (20.9 percent cut) is one of those three states — although state support for higher ed took an even deeper cut in Arizona (25.1 percent) and New Hampshire (41.3 percent).
