Recapping the Two-Day July Board of Regents Meeting at UW-Madison

Here's what happened at the first day of the July meeting of the Board of Regents. From the UW System Administration website: https://www.wisconsin.edu/news/archive/regents-approve-uw-systems-annual-operating-budget-day-1-news-summary/
"Regents approve UW System's annual operating budget"*
(*While there's no attribution as to who wrote the press release, it was -probably- overseen by former Walker spokeswoman and current Interim Communications Director of the UW System, Stephanie Marquis.)
"MADISON – The University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents voted to approve a $6.2 billion annual operating budget for 2017-18 at its meeting Thursday in Madison. In introducing the budget, UW System President Ray Cross...identified four key takeaways of the budget:
• State funding increased by 3.7%;
• Resident undergraduate tuition is frozen for fifth consecutive year;
• Limited segregated fee increases; and
• Program revenue balances are projected to further decline."
These four requests are -unlikely- to be approved! SenatorJPO explains -- and while BlogTalkRadio does not permit enough characters for a complete write-up here, the hyperlink to the podcast-recap blog article will be posted whenthe write-up is completed.
The second day was less impactful, consisting of a rubber-stamping of Rep. Jesse Kramer's campus speech-restriction bill, in addition to giving a gaggle of awards to special snowflakes throughout the UW System: https://www.wisconsin.edu/news/archive/news-from-around-the-uw-system-35/
