A Growth Agenda for Wisconsin
Access • Affordability • Growth
Governor's Budget Overview
Last updated: Mar. 26, 2007
Under the Governor’s budget, the UW System would receive new funds in the 2007-09 biennium to improve access, affordability and service at each campus and through UW-Extension’s statewide network.
The Governor’s budget would also invest new funds in the UW System’s current operations, preserving the quality of instruction, research and public service. This proposal will also make it possible for the UW System to fund every initiative in its “Growth Agenda for Wisconsin.”
