Moving from Fiscal Constraint to New State-University Partnerships

Abstract

Across the United States, state funding as a percentage of total university budgets and state per-capital contributions to public universities continue to decline. In this public forum nationally recognized speakers will explore the changing political and economic landscape of state support for higher education. New models of state-university relationships from around the nation - both successful and failed - will be discussed in light of the current fiscal discussion regarding postsecondary education in Wisconsin.
