Clip: Season 1600 Episode 1601 | 45sVideo has Closed Captions
UW-System Board of Regents cut UW-Madison's share of state funding by more than a third.
The UW-System Board of Regents voted almost unanimously on to reduce UW-Madison's share of state funding by more than a third this year — to $2.9 million. The reason? Regents say the other University of Wisconsin campuses need the money more. A lobbying group made up of UW-Madison alumni and donors is worried the budget cut could affect UW-Madison's standing as the system's flagship institution.
