The University of Wisconsin System’s top leader says he may have to close campuses and raise tuition if the Legislature’s Republican-controlled finance committee follows through with proposed budget cuts. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos has called on the committee to cut $32 million from the system over the next two fiscal years, an amount he says is equal to what it spends on diversity and equity officers biennially. The committee is expected to vote on including the cut in the 2023-25 state budget as it wraps up its work on the spending plan Thursday night.
