Resident students in the University of Wisconsin System would see a 6.8 percent tuition increase next fall under a plan released on Thursday.

The increases would translate to $382 more per year for students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, $374 more at UW-Milwaukee and $291 more at all other UW campuses.

The plan would also lower out-of-state tuition at all campuses except UW-Madison as part of a plan to attract more students from other states.

The UW System Board of Regents is expected to consider the plan at a meeting at UW-Milwaukee next week.

UW System officials said that the tuition hike will generate $44 million in revenue, which will be used to pay for utilities, technology improvements and employee salary and benefits.
