UW chancellor: Walker budget cut is too much - Rebecca Blank, Green Bay Press Gazette

University of Wisconsin-Madison's chancellor says Republican Gov. Scott Walker's proposed budget cuts her institution too deep. Walker's plan calls for cutting $300 million from the UW System over the next two years. UW-Madison chancellor Rebecca Blank told regents on Thursday the cut will translate to a $114 million loss for school over the biennium. Blank said she would have to raise out-of-state tuition until it's second- or third-highest in the Big Ten and raise the cap on out-of-state students. http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/news/politics/2015/02/05/uw-chancellor-rebecca-blank-scott-walker-budget-cut-is-too-much/22935649/
