Wisconsin GOP's Assault on Diversity and Education Funding
TL;DR
Wisconsin Republicans are withholding pay raises for University of Wisconsin employees and slashing the school system's budget in an effort to block diversity and inclusion efforts on college campuses. They are denying pay increases until the school system agrees not to spend any money on diversity programming, despite having a $7 billion budget surplus. The cuts could potentially lead to the closure of some campuses, affecting tens of thousands of students and faculty.
