The Wisconsin Legislature's budget committee has voted to deny state funding to University of Wisconsin campuses that turn away ROTC programs.

Sorensen reversed his stance Tuesday, saying he will allow the chapter after realizing the federal government could yank $16 million in federal funding for his campus.
