由于国家供资下降和学费上涨,威斯康星州在大学可负担性方面排名接近最低。 Wisconsin ranks near bottom in college affordability due to declining state funding and rising tuition costs.

一项新的分析显示,威斯康星州大学的可负担性接近底部,公立四年制学院和技术院校的可负担性差距很大——平均高于全国平均水平3 549美元和1 336美元。 A new analysis reveals Wisconsin ranks near the bottom in college affordability, with public four-year and technical colleges facing significant affordability gaps—$3,549 and $1,336 on average—exceeding national averages. 该研究使用2022-23年的数据,将成本上升归因于国家供资下降,目前仅覆盖大学预算的20%,高于1985年的一半。 The study, using 2022-23 data, attributes rising costs to declining state funding, now covering just 20% of university budgets, up from half in 1985. 学费现在占大学收入的60%左右。 Tuition now makes up about 60% of university revenue. 虽然威斯康辛大学系统注意到其学费在上中西部最低,技术学院强调劳动力融合,但官员承认,负担能力仍然是一项重大挑战,需要增加国家投资和学生支助。 While the University of Wisconsin system notes its tuition is lowest in the Upper Midwest and technical colleges emphasize workforce integration, officials acknowledge affordability remains a critical challenge requiring increased state investment and student support.
