Concern about UW's next budget played part in decision not to hear about cuts' impacts
Concerned about a “two-hour drumbeat” from chancellors over $250 million in budget cuts, University of Wisconsin System President Ray Cross scrapped a plan for campus leaders to tell Regents this week about the cuts’ impacts, Cross said.
Cross also acknowledged in an interview Wednesday that he made the decision after consulting with some Regents and considering, among other factors, the System’s next two-year budget.
The Wisconsin State Journal first reported on the decision Monday. At that time, a System spokesman said the presentation to the Regents was canceled so that chancellors could share the budget cut information in their local communities.
Records obtained Wednesday by the State Journal under the state’s open records law show that Cross planned to have each of the UW System’s chancellors give a five-minute presentation on the impact of the $250 million cut from higher education funding in the 2015-17 state budget when the Board of Regents meets Thursday and Friday at UW-Green Bay.
