Madison– In a statement regarding the surprise board of regents vote on Saturday, Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu issued the following statement:
“The resolution rejected by the board of regents on Saturday is the legislature’s last and best offer.
“Enumerating a new engineering building at UW-Madison and providing hardworking UW employees with inflationary wage increases is good for the university system and good for the state.
“The board of regents should reconsider their vote; stop prioritizing woke liberal ideology over student achievement, and make the right decision on behalf of the university system and the state.
“Without meaningful reform, there will not be more investment made into the University of Wisconsin System.”
