The Republican speaker of the Wisconsin Assembly is blocking pay raises for University of Wisconsin employees unless the university cuts diversity, equity and inclusion spending by $32 million
The Republican speaker of the Wisconsin Assembly is blocking pay raises for University of Wisconsin employees unless the universityby $32 million — a move that comes amid the Democratic governor’s calls for lawmakers to spend even more on higher education.
The budget that the Legislature passed and Evers signed also included the pay raises for UW and state employees. But those raises would still need the approval of an eight-member committee of legislative leaders that is controlled 6-2 by Republicans. Democratic Senate Minority Leader Melissa Agard, who is also a member of the committee, said Vos was holding the employees hostage.
UW President Jay Rothman has walked a fine line publicly while advocating for the pay raises and trying to get additional funding. The university plans toto get back $15 million of the funding that was cut, using it on the priority areas of nursing, engineering, computer and data science, and business.
