Noted: A model for this involvement can be found about 900 miles away at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Like this university, Wisconsin faced massive budget cuts. As a result, in-state students from families making at least $80,000 a year are facing an increase of $1,000 in tuition during four years and out of state students face an increase of $3,000.The funds raised by increasing tuition will be used to hire new faculty, expand course offerings and improve student services. But thereâ??s a catch: In exchange for student support, administrators gave students a legitimate say in exactly how the money is spent.
