2 more state universities eye furloughs and spending cuts to address deficits

Two more University of Wisconsin System campuses are looking to furloughs, retirement incentives and layoffs to address combined budget deficits of around $15 million.

The latest announcements from UW-Parkside and UW-Platteville come just more than one month after Republican state lawmakers included a $32 million cut to the UW System in a state budget signed by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.
