Wiley chastises local student newspaper

Chancellor John Wiley issued a statement Tuesday chastising the Badger Herald for reprinting a cartoon Monday that has incited riots in the Middle East in past weeks.  

 

 

 

'This action has brought home to Madison, Wis., and to the university community, the same visceral, emotional response reported by the international media during the past several days,' the statement read. 'We should remember always that actions have consequences[??] we cannot pretend they don't require our attention.' 

 

 

 

The newspaper reprinted the cartoon as part of an editorial column advocating free speech.
