UW System institutions share additional budget effects - Ellie Herman, Madison.com

The Wisconsin Center for the Advancement of Postsecondary Education released a report Wednesday detailing additional effects of the Wisconsin state budget throughout the UW System. Gov. Scott Walker signed the 2015-’17 budget July 12, which removed tenure protections from state statute. Walker let stand a change that makes all shared governance groups require final approval from UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank and UW System Board of Regents on rulings concerning student life. The 13 colleges in the UW System faced 83 administration position eliminations, including a decrease in financial aid and admission administrators according to the WISCAPE report. http://host.madison.com/daily-cardinal/uw-system-institutions-share-additional-budget-effects/article_de9b3162-790f-11e5-8107-131c4e9191ff.html
