Wisconsin Cooperative Extension faces 25 percent budget cuts
The Cooperative Extension Service in Wisconsin plans significant fiscal and staff reductions by 1991, trimming 48 of 72 county extension office positions and about 17 percent of UW campus staff. Dean Charles Koval and Chancellor Patrick Boyle warn the cuts depend on state and federal funding, urge prioritization, and note county partners have sometimes funded positions. A statewide tour seeks input as a $35.7 million budget distribution shows 39 percent state, 28 percent federal, 26 percent counties, and 7 percent other sources.
