2023–2025 State Budget Priorities
Capital Projects
UW–Madison’s budget request, which includes a new College of Engineering building and catching up with deferred maintenance on aging structures, will help meet the state’s growing workforce demands, decrease future costs and mitigate the risks of badly aging structures.
An Investment for Wisconsin’s Future
In the face of unprecedented inflation and a tight labor market, UW–Madison and UW System are seeking a 4 percent increase to our operating budget and employee compensation plan fully funded by the state. The modest increase is an investment in Wisconsin’s future that ensures the university can continue its essential work.
Reduce Costly Delays for Projects
UW–Madison seeks modification to current law to allow UW System to approve building projects funded entirely by university-generated revenue. This will provide flexibility for essential projects and position UW–Madison to better meet the needs of our students and the state without costly delays.
