Regents president says access is top goal
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The president of the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents says his top priority is expanding access to state universities.
Milwaukee businessman Chuck Pruitt told a Senate committee on Tuesday a key part of that goal is providing more financial aid for low-income students. He says the state has made some progress, but needs to do better.
The Senate is expected to approve Gov. Jim Doyle's appointment of Pruitt for a second six-year term on the board. It oversees 13 four-year universities and 13 two-year colleges. Pruitt has been board president since June.
