University of Wisconsin System leaders plan to ask Republican lawmakers this fall to release about half of the $32 million they withheld in hopes of defunding diversity initiatives.
MADISON, Wis. — University of Wisconsin System leaders plan to ask Republican lawmakers this fall to release about half of the $32 million they withheld in the hopes of defunding campus diversity initiatives, a top UW budget analyst said Tuesday.
Republicans who control the finance committee decided in June to cut the UW System’s 2023-25 budget by $32 million. GOP leaders have said the money is what they estimated the system would spend on diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, programs across its 13 campuses over the two-year span. The move came after Assembly Speaker Robin Vos complained that DEI efforts are a waste of public money and that he thinks such initiatives have become liberals’ new religion.
