Wisconsin Legislature's Funding Decisions Impact UW-Madison and UW-Eau Claire Building Projects.
TL;DR Summary
The state legislative Joint Finance Committee has again withheld approval of a new College of Engineering building at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, despite it being the top priority on the UW Board of Regents list of building projects and included in a slate of projects proposed by Governor Tony Evers in the 2023-2025 state budget. The project, which was expected to produce hundreds of new graduates per year in fields in which Wisconsin employers face acute need for additional talent, was not included in a final list approved by the Joint Finance Committee on Thursday, June 1.
