Some University of Wisconsin chancellors brought rough estimates of how many jobs they may have to eliminate under the governor's proposed budget at a Board of Regents meeting on Thursday.

According to the chancellors, a proposed $300 million cut to the university system could result in 50-90 positions lost at UW-Stout, and 200 to 300 positions lost at UW-Milwaukee.

UW-Stevens Point may have to eliminate 115 positions, half of which are currently filled. UW-Madison's chancellor has also said job cuts are possible at that campus as well.
