UW System budget plan would drive up student costs as much as 5.4% - Associated Press

The UW System released an analysis showing how its 2023-24 budget plan affects resident undergraduate costs on each campus — the biggest percentage hike is at UW-River Falls and smallest at UW-Madison. University of Wisconsin System President Jay Rothman’s plan to increase tuition, fees and room and board costs next year would drive up undergraduate student expenses as much as 5.4% next year, according to an analysis released March 17. Rothman announced earlier in March that he would ask the Board of Regents for a 5% tuition increase. The new analysis indicates his plan also includes raising undergraduate student fees and room and board costs as well as increasing costs for specific programs and raising graduate students’ tuition.
