Walker appears to be retreating from his budget's plan to kill the UW's signature, big-picture mission known as "The Wisconsin Idea" - - a drafting error, he suggests? reminiscent of his infamous Molotov/Mazel Tov typo or unnamed intern mistake - - but don't overlook that the budget still hammers the UW and the communities in which the system's schools are located (principally, Blue and (D) with unprecedented cuts that, in effect, will cripple The Wisconsin Idea.
Headline errors corrected. Oops.

That whole budget is a drafting error, but see if our gerrymandered, bought-off, partisan-hack filled Legislature does a thing about it, except make it even worse.
ReplyDeleteIs it also an oops for Walker that in AB 21 -- his revision of Chapter 36 in state statutes re the UW System -- he deletes the entirety of 36.13?
ReplyDeleteAnd that is?
Tenure.
I have it in good authority that Republican legislators are furious about being handed this budget filled with Walker's vainglorious attempts to demonstrate how bold and big he is. They WILL fight back if their constituents tell them to do so. If you know people in Republican districts who oppose various budget proposals, implore them to contact their legislators repeatedly with their opposition. I am attempting to make these contacts with high school classmates through Facebook, for example. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain.
