Professors Warn Budget Cuts Harm Wisconsin Higher Ed
Prof Emerson G Wulling of La Crosse State Teachers College, secretary treasurer of the association, said any reduction in the state higher education budget will impair libraries laboratories and buildings and draw off staff. He criticized Gov Rennebohm for cutting requests by 7 559 634 and urged straight requests over grandstanding while stressing increased enrollments and low costs. He warned faculties resent a perceived bias in budgeting and said rational pleadings must not be misread as weakness.
