But why should Wisconsin students get bumped say,
in favor of out-of-state "veterans"?

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The University of Wisconsin-Madison will be able to enroll an unlimited number of out-of-state undergraduates beginning next fall under a plan that the UW System Board of Regents approved...

The system currently caps the number of out-of-state undergraduates at 27.5 percent of the total undergraduate population of each campus. UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank and system President Ray Cross asked the regents to waive the cap at UW-Madison for four academic years beginning in the fall of 2016.

Critics, including the UW-Madison student association, say the move is really an attempt to generate more revenue as the university copes with its share of a $250 million cut Republicans imposed on the system in the state budget.

Out-of-staters pay about $20,000 more per year than in-state students. Opponents also fear no out-of-state caps will mean larger classes, reduced services and more Wisconsin students turned away.

Blank told the university’s faculty senate this week that the proposal would create “budget advantages,” but demographics demand that the university lift the cap, regardless.

Regent Tim Higgins tried to add formal language to the policy requiring UW-Madison to step up recruiting of the best Wisconsin students identified through grade point averages and test scores. The policy contains no such hard commitment; Higgins said he believes in “trust and verify” Blank’s recruiting promise. The amendment fell flat, though, after other regents argued that test scores aren’t an adequate measure of a student’s potential.

The regents ultimately approved the waiver on a voice vote.

“Our problem is going to translate from a skills gap to a population gap,” Regent Mark Tyler said. “I think we’re in a position to lead the nation in solving this problem. Unfortunately, we’re stealing from each other to solve this problem. (But) I’m very supportive of this proposal.”
