Lawmakers expressed doubt this week that Gov. Scott Walker's budget proposal to split UW-Madison from the University of Wisconsin System has the support to move forward.
"I think its highly unlikely that the Legislature at this time is ready to grant that authority," said Rep. Robin Vos, R-Rochester, co-chair of the state Legislature's powerful budget committee.
The governor's proposal would make UW-Madison into a public authority - separate from the UW System - with its own 21-member board of trustees and more autonomy on issues such as tuition, money management, purchasing and building.
"There's quite a bit of consensus, or there's quite a bit of interest, in keeping the System together at this time," said Sen. Sheila Harsdorf, R-River Falls, also a member of the budget committee.
