Jay Rothman joined the Chamber of Commerce and other members of the community to speak about his plan to improve the University System in Wisconsin. Universities of Wisconsin President Jay Rothman proposed a 2025-27 budget request that would allow the state’s public universities to shed its ranking of 43rd of 50 states in public funding and reach the national median

“It’s time Wisconsin escapes the Bottom 10 in public funding and gets Up to the Middle,” Rothman said. “This budget request will spur innovation in research and teaching, make a degree more affordable for our students most in need, develop talent by focusing on student success, preserve accessibility, and ensure quality.”

 

Thank you to all Chamber members who joined us at Coachman’s to listen to Jay as he laid out his plan to make Wisconsin 43rd NO MORE.
