MADISON, WI (WSAU) — UW System President Jay Rothman has released his proposal for in-state tuition increases for all system schools.
“It is unsustainable to continue a decade-long tuition freeze, even as costs have increased and inflation has accelerated,” said Rothman in a press release. “This modest tuition increase will help our universities continue to provide students with a world-class education, produce the talent that makes Wisconsin’s workforce succeed, and spark innovation and vitality in our communities.”
The proposed resident undergraduate tuition and fees for each university in 2023-24 are:
UW-Eau Claire: $9,137
UW-Green Bay: $8,342
UW-La Crosse: $9,477
UW-Madison: $11,215
UW-Milwaukee: $10,020
UW Oshkosh: $8,258
UW-Parkside: $7,855
UW-Platteville: $8,096
UW-River Falls: $8,425
UW-Stevens Point: $8,674
UW-Stout: $8,888
UW-Superior: $8,487
UW-Whitewater: $8,044
Those numbers represent a raise of as low as 3% at the Madison campus to 5.4% at River Falls. Undergraduates from outside Wisconsin would also see a small increase.
Graduate students, both in-state and out-of-state would also have a tuition hike.
Last month Rothman said a 5% across-the-board raise would be needed to keep the system solvent. Leaders will discuss and vote on the proposal during a meeting at UW Stout later this month.
