Rothman Says Regents will Consider 5% In-State Tuition Increase

(Raymond Neupert, WRN) The UW System may be raising its tuition next year.

UW System President Jay Rothman says tuition may be going up around 5 percent in the next school year. That will be needed alongside an increase in funding from the state in order to maintain the universities. “When our Board of Regents meets later this month, I will be introducing an increase in in-state tuition of approximately 5% for the 2023 24 academic year.”

“This modest tuition increase will help our universities continue to provide students with a world class education, produce the talent that Wisconsin’s workforce needs to succeed, and spark innovation and vitality in our communities.”

That raise would still be under the inflation rate, and Rothman says that the UW System remains committed to having affordable education in Wisconsin, while remaining financially secure.
