MADISON, Wis. (AP) â University of Wisconsin System leaders voted Thursday against raising tuition just hours after Gov. Tony Evers signed a budget that gave them the ability to do so for the first time in years.
The Board of Regents approved a system budget that calls for no resident undergraduate tuition increases for the 2021-22 academic year.
Republican legislators froze resident undergraduate tuition heading into the 2013-14 academic year. That was finally undone on Thursday when Evers signed a Republican-written state budget that, besides handing control of tuition back to the board, includes a $2 billion income tax cut.
Regaining control of tuition was âsomething that we ve all wanted and rightfully deserved,â interim System President Tommy Thompson said, t he Wisconsin State Journal reported.
