Wisconsin's Republican leaders weren't saying Wednesday whether they would cut tens of millions of dollars from the University of Wisconsin budget after delaying a vote on the subject, a move that came after the Assembly's top GOP leader said the plan was to cut funding for diversity and inclusion initiatives.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos told The Associated Press on Tuesday that UW's budget would be cut by $32 million, the amount he said was to be spent on diversity initiatives. But after nearly seven hours of closed-door discussions, Republicans who control the Legislature's budget committee could not come to an agreement late Tuesday night and postponed consideration of UW’s budget.
