The Universities of Wisconsin propose a workforce spending plan to get back funds that were cut by the Republican-controlled state Legislature.
The Universities of Wisconsin unveiled a $32-million workforce development plan Monday in an attempt to recover funds that were cut by the Republican-controlled Legislature earlier this year in a fight over campus diversity programs.
” The proposal must be approved by the UW Board of Regents, which was set to meet Thursday, before going to the Legislature's budget committee. GOP leaders last month continued their efforts to force the university system to slash its DEI spending by withholding pay raises that were approved in the budget for UW employees. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, the state's top Republican, has promised not to approve the raises until the university system cuts DEI spending by $32 million.
