MADISON, Wis.— University of Wisconsin System President Jay Rothman issued this statement today:
“We appreciate the action the legislature’s budget-writing committee took today to approve several facilities for the UW System. However, for Wisconsin to compete and prosper, we must invest in high-demand programs at all our universities. UW-Madison’s engineering building is our top priority for a reason. Investing in this facility will help address a crucial workforce shortage in the state as well as enhance the world-class research that draws talent into our state and drives economic vibrancy. We will continue to champion this vital project.”
