Not seeing return to original UW mission in Walker budget
Unless I'm working with the wrong URL, where's that promised skin-back of Walker's "drafting error?" The story broke a month ago tomorrow.
And the existing budget language also lets individual UW campuses opt out of mission statement adoption? What kind of Wisconsin Idea is that?
From p. 473, UW budget...

6. ESTABLISH UW SYSTEM MISSION
Governor: Establish the UW System mission as being to develop human resources to meet the state's workforce needs; to discover and disseminate knowledge; and to develop in students heightened intellectual, cultural, and human sensitivities, scientific, professional, and technological expertise, and a sense of purpose.
Under current law, the mission of the UW System is as follows: "to develop human resources, to discover and disseminate knowledge, to extend knowledge and its application beyond the boundaries of its campuses and to serve and stimulate society by developing in students heightened intellectual, cultural and humane sensitivities, scientific, professional and technological expertise and a sense of purpose. Inherent in this broad mission are methods of instruction, research, extended training and public service designed to educate people and improve the human condition. Basic to every purpose of the system is the search for truth."
[Bill Section: 1111]
7. INSTITUTIONAL MISSIONS AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
Governor: Provide that the Board may, after a public hearing at an institution, establish for the institution a mission statement delineating specific program responsibilities and types of degrees to be granted. Provide that the Board would determine the educational programs to be offered in the UW System and may discontinue educational programs as it deems necessary. Provide that the Board would establish policies to guide program activities to ensure that they are compatible with the mission of the institutions of the UW System.
This differs from current law in that: (a) the establishment of institutional mission statements is made optional instead of being required; and (b) a requirement that the Board make all reasonable effort to provide night courses is deleted.
[Bill Section: 1130]

"Drafting error" was just a concoction of walkers media handlers and his disinformation artists in the media to minimize damage and marginalize folks like you and others that dared to talk about this shameless, partisan, and radical attack on the very purpose of post-secondary education while simultaneously undermining it's quality.
Perhaps he's waiting to discern God's will.
