Jim Doyle on Education

What Jim Doyle said about UW tuition (Western Wisconsin Press Club debate, October 16, 2002):

Doyle: As governor of the state of Wisconsin, I’m going to make sure the university is affordable for every single student.

Question: Attorney General Doyle, a follow-up. So, “affordable,” does that mean you would support a 10 percent cap in the next budget?

Doyle: Well, yes. And frankly, 10 percent seems pretty high to me.

What Jim Doyle did: Tuition for Wisconsin students has increased by over 50 percent – at the same time, tuition on out-of-state students was lowered.
