At the January 22 meeting, Universities of Wisconsin President Jay Rothman emphasized the need for more public funding for our public universities, noting Wisconsin ranks 43rd in the U.S. for such support. The universities will request $855 million in the next biennial budget, which would avoid tuition hikes and allow them to maintain high-quality, world class education standards. Rothman highlighted that our public universities offer a 23:1 return on investment and urged Rotary members to advocate for this funding to their legislators.
