Republican bill would limit how much UW System can increase tuition

Rep. Dave Murphy, R-Greenville, and Sen. Andre Jacque, R-De Pere, introduced the bill earlier this week to protect Wisconsin students from the possibility of soaring tuition rates when the current freeze ends. Their research found that tuition increased 27% after a single-year freeze in 1967 and 8% after a 1999 freeze.
