Inside Higher Ed: Paying for diversity
On Thursday, the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System approved a plan that would increase tuition for all students at the university’s La Crosse campus by a total of $1,320 over three years to diversify the student body there.
A tenet of the “Growth and Access” plan is to expand the number of enrolled students by 1,000, with half of those being low-income or underrepresented minority students. Enrollment at La Crosse now stands at over 8,500 students, of which approximately 500 are minority students.
