Governor believes strongly in the Wisconsin Idea. Will that be the case with our next Governor?
Link to August 20 Appleton Post-Crescent article, "Tough times ahead for higher education".
Excerpt: The state faces a $2.5 billion shortfall in the next two-year budget, but the university is seeking an $83 million increase in its budget over that time. That budget will be considered by Doyle's successor and the next Legislature next year.
Faced with record-high state budget shortfalls in the last two years, the university system already has been forced to make budget cuts, increase tuition and furlough faculty and staff.
"We are still in the middle of a very deep recession," Doyle said. "It takes real management to come through a difficult time. Management that is based on maintaining really high values, maintaining a clear vision of what you want to accomplish, then figuring out how to do it when you don't have all the resources you want to have."
