Now for more state news and funding for higher education. The UW Board of Regents voted 16-1 Thursday to approve the system’s $6.2 billion budget for 2017-18. The spending plan divvies up state aid to the campuses differently than in the past, giving UW-Madison a smaller share. Instead of its usual 38% share which works out to about $9.4 million, Madison will see just under $3 million. Regents say the other UW campuses need the money more. The budget also keeps undergraduate resident tuition flat, but raises student fees and housing costs at the system’s four-year schools. And that is our program for tonight. I’m Frederica Freyberg. Have a great weekend.
