By Gillian McBride | Mar. 14, 2014Correction 3/14/2014: A previous version of this story stated that Chancellor Rebecca Blank said the university was discussing a tuition hike for out-of-state students, which would be accompanied by more financial assistance. However, in the chat, Blank was referencing the difference between University of Michigan’s out-of-state tuition and UW-Madison’s.
