UW System schools head back to class, face budget deficits - Kyle Pozorski, Channel 3000

The new academic years will see changes in many of the system schools. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that 10 of the 13 campuses are projected to run deficits this school year. This comes as a response to the smaller 2023-2025 UW System budget, which lost $32 million in June from a cut in the legislature's joint finance committee. UW-Madison will take the biggest hit, losing $7 million in this year’s budget cut, while UW-Milwaukee will lose $1.8 million and UW-Superior will lose $80,000. Most campuses are allocating money from tuition increases to balance the year’s budget.
