Budgets, loan debt addressed - Dana Bossen, Badger Herald

With tuition costs rising at the University of Wisconsin for the sixth consecutive year in 2012, the Associated Students of Madison Legislative Affairs Committee reviewed the impact the state and federal budgets will have on students, urging the campus community to get involved in the budget process. Legislative Affairs Committee Chair Daniel Statter presented information about the federal and state budgets and explained how certain aspects of both budgets could affect UW students. If the proposed sequestration goes through, Statter said there would be budget cuts across the board, including education. He said for example, this would affect UW in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and CALS would suffer from more than $7 billion in budget cuts. http://badgerherald.com/news/2012/10/30/budgets_loan_debt_ad.php
