MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — Governor Tony Evers says he won’t sign a state budget that includes a big cut to the UW System.
The $32 million cut from Republicans is equivalent to what the UW had projected for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says taxpayer money should not be going to what he calls “a new religion for people on the left.”
“They no longer go to church on Sunday, but boy, are they trying to make sure that everybody is evangelized on campus, that there’s only one acceptable viewpoint,” said Vos.
Governor Tony Evers was asked whether he’ll sign a budget with the massive cut to the UW…
“No. No. $32 million is a ridiculous effort on his part,” said Evers.
Evers said he hopes that will change before the budget is finished.
