Board honors former regent Jesus Salas for lifelong dedication to higher education – Wisconsin
Tagged: Chicano, children, Wisconsin
The Board of Regents recognized Friday the lifelong achievements of a regent whose resignation was spurred by Gov. Jim Doyle’s approval of the current state budget.
The budget left out a bill that former regent Jesus Salas said would have benefitted the state by granting the children of illegal immigrants in Wisconsin in-state tuition at University of Wisconsin System schools.
Salas, a UW-Milwaukee alumnus, was an advocate and leader in recognizing the importance of higher education and worked to secure a better standing for the Latino and Chicano communities in Wisconsin, according to Regent David Walsh.”*
