“Badgers United” Push For More State Funding, End Of Tuition Freeze

A new group calling itself “Badgers United” will push for more state funding for the University of Wisconsin-Madison and an end to the tuition freeze.  The effort was launched Monday.  Lawmakers have kept tuition rates for in-state students frozen for the past six years.  The current budget plan would extend the freeze for two more years.  Governor Evers has called for an additional 127-million dollars in state funding for the U-W System, but Republicans cut that by more than half.
