The raises came after the UW system agreed to repurpose some diversity positions as part of a broader deal with lawmakers to unlock nearly $800 million in state aid.
A battle over diversity and tax dollars is being waged in Wisconsin. A deal would give higher pay to all Universities of Wisconsin workers and a new engineering building. In exchange, the universities would cut some jobs dedicated to diversity.
Many items written into the agreement must be approved in the next couple of months and require approval from the Legislature and the governor. Other items have no fixed deadline.
