State approves $46 million in cuts to UW System

Dave Gessner, assistant chancellor for budget and finance at UW-Eau Claire, said the latest reduction is the largest he’s seen in the last 10 years. He said the timing means most of the impact of this year’s part of the lapse will be felt this current semester.

“For years we have seen students and the University System deprioritized and defunded,” he said in the release. “The implications are already being felt by students, their pocketbooks, and the quality of their degree.”
