Republicans on the legislature’s joint finance committee are ending the UW-System’s tuition freeze.
That freeze had been in place for eight years. Wisconsin Democrats wanted the freeze to remain alongside an extra $192-million in funding.
But the G-O-P voted to end the freeze, and only increase funding for the UW-System by $8 million.
Republicans also warned the UW-System to not increase tuition too much or else the legislature would take action.
