Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's latest spending proposal includes "deep reductions to state universities," reports The New York Times:
Mr. Walker's proposal calls for cutting about $300 million, or 13 percent, in state funds from the University of Wisconsin System, which includes 13 four-year universities and enrolls some 180,000 students. Mr. Walker's plan would also take the unusual step of removing the university system from direct state control to a "quasi-governmental" authority that could act autonomously on issues of personnel, procurement, capital projects and tuition.
Mark Yudof, former president of the University of Minnesota, and Chronicle of Higher Education Reporter Eric Kelderman join The Daily Circuit to discuss Walker's proposal, and what it means for higher education nation wide.
