Compromise not an option on UW budget cuts

July 31, 2007 By WRN Contributor

The President of the UW System is urging lawmakers not to compromise on funding higher education.

The budget offered by Assembly Republicans includes $120 million in cuts to University of Wisconsin campuses. System President Kevin Reilly says even meeting half way on that is a bad idea. Reilly says even if Democrats and Republicans meet halfway, the UW System will still be losing $60 million in funding, which would make it difficult to keep up with the demands being placed on campuses.

During a round table discussion with Chancellors on Monday, Reilly said the hope at this point is that cooler heads will prevail in a budget conference committee and the UW will be taken off the chopping block. He says such a move is needed to improve the future of Wisconsin's future students.
