ADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker is promising to cut tuition for all undergraduates in the University of Wisconsin System. Walker made the promise Tuesday in his State of the State address. It comes after tuition has been frozen at UW for four years. Walker says the budget he releases next month “will do more than just freeze tuition.” He says it will be cut, but he doesn’t give any details. The UW Board of Regents voted to approve a plan to keep tuition flat next year and raise it no more than the rate of inflation after that if the Legislature allows it. Walker has also promised to increase funding for the UW System after cutting it by $250 million in his last budget. Gov. Scott Walker also declared in his that workforce development will be his top priority going forward, a shift that comes after he failed to fulfill his signature job-creation promise and as he considers seeking a third term.
