MADISON, Wis. (AP) — University of Wisconsin System leaders plan to ask Republican lawmakers this fall to release about half of the $32 million they withheld in hopes of defunding diversity initiatives. Sean Nelson, the system’s vice president of finance and administration, told regents during a meeting Tuesday that system leaders will ask the Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee in October to release about $15 million. He said the system plans to submit a proposal to spend the money on engineering, data, science and nursing programs. Republicans have said the system could get the money if it uses it to develop the state’s workforce. GOP leaders have said the $32 million is what they estimated the system would spend on diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
