Regents Approve Increased Fees, Room-And-Board Costs For UW System

Students at schools in the University of Wisconsin System will have to pay higher fees and room-and-board costs this fall.  The U-W Board of Regents approved the increases during a Thursday meeting in Madison.  The student fees will go up by an average of 36-dollars and room-and-board by much more than that.  The money was needed to pay for expenses like a new recreational center, expanded classrooms, free flu shots and increased security costs for athletic events.
