Statement from UW System Interim President Michael J. Falbo on Wisconsin Policy Forum report showing need for state investment in student financial aid
MADISON, Wis.—University of Wisconsin System Interim President Michael J. Falbo issued this statement today:
“The University of Wisconsin is the state’s primary magnet for developing, attracting, and retaining talent. Yet, investment in financial aid for Wisconsin students is now well below national averages. That is why we proposed expanding UW-Madison’s Bucky’s Tuition Promise to all UW System universities in the last budget. Targeted aid to students will help more than just those students and families affected, it would help all of Wisconsin. More students getting more education leads to more graduates. Simply put, student aid should be an easy investment to increase personal earnings and address workforce shortages.”
