Complicating the admissions puzzle is the state’s declining number of high school graduates. There are 13 University of Wisconsin System campuses across the state, along with dozens of private institutions, all of whom are competing to recruit a shrinking pool of in-state applicants.

The opposite is happening in Illinois. The new state budget with dems controlling the legislature and a new liberal governor, there has been a lot of investment in Education. The University of Illinois is offering free tuition to in state families that earn less than $61,000 per year.

Hopefully, Wisconsin will see that this can work and change their ways.
