WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) — A University of Wisconsin System regents committee has approved plans to raise nonresident and graduate student tuition at nine campuses to help offset $300 million in cuts Gov. Scott Walker has proposed for the system. The regents’ finance committee unanimously approved the increases Thursday at the University of Wisconsin-Waukesha. Tuition would rise at schools in Madison, La Crosse, Milwaukee, Parkside, Platteville, River Falls, Stevens Point, Stout and Whitewater. Tuition at most of the satellite campuses would rise by at least several hundred dollars starting next year. UW-Madison proposed a four-year plan that calls for raising non-resident undergraduate tuition by $10,000 by 2018-19. The committee approved only the first two years, which would translate to a $6,000 nonresident increase by 2016-17.
