The state budget and how it affects university campuses remains a topic of discussion around the state.

UW System President Ray Cross has been traveling around to the UW campuses to listen, as well as share what he knows and some of the frustration he's experienced in this budget cycle so far. Cross says he has been working with members of the Joint Finance Committee to try restoring the proposed 300-million in cuts the UW System is facing. He says the committee has certainly been open to hearing suggestions.  "I've heard about a lot of ideas, and I've heard a committment to do their very best to do that, and we certainly appreciate that. Everybody is sensitive to that and hopeful, so we're working with them to be creative to help them, but we'll just have to wait and see."
