This was ​according to a State Higher Education Executive Officers Association report that was released earlier this month. That report found that just three states — Oklahoma, West Virginia and Mississippi — saw a larger drop ​in funding over the five years.

The article ​included the expertise of the UW–Madison’s Noel Radomski, managing director of the Wisconsin Center for the Advancement of Postsecondary Education (WISCAPE), to ​put the findings in context.

Radomski also spoke about the report’s findings in an article in the Badger Herald.

WISCAPE is housed in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis (ELPA) within UW-Madison’s School of Education.
