Dems must stop obstructionism
(02/27/07 6:00am)

Court correct in barrows ruling
(02/26/07 6:00am)
A federal appeals court determined Thursday that Paul Barrows was not treated unfairly by the university. The case comes in the wake of the 2004 scandal in which Barrows, the former UW-Madison vice chancellor for student affairs, was accused and later exonerated of sexual harassment against a female graduate student.

Invest in alternative energy before tax
(02/21/07 6:00am)

Alcohol policy is not prohibition
(02/20/07 6:00am)
Put down that beer and trade it for an ice cold soda—the new alcohol policy brought forth by the Office of the Dean of Students and the Student Organization Office looks to severely limit alcohol consumption among student groups. At least that is what the controversy makes it seem like so far.
Lawmaker to lobbyist? Not so fast
(02/18/07 6:00am)
It seems like common sense that a lawmaker entrusted with the power to regulate the private sector should not be allowed to take up a lucrative position lobbying for those very same industries immediately after leaving office. Yet this very scenario has played out over and over at all levels of government.

Keep interest groups out of politics
(02/11/07 6:00am)
With increasing nationwide crackdowns on political corruption, it seems hard to believe many interest groups still try to get their way, but that is exactly the plan of Wisconsin Right to Life. On June 30, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear the case of WRTL and their fight to run a political advertisement against U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., shortly before the 2004 election. Unfortunately for the group, what it did is against the law.

Off-campus rent dispute childish
(02/06/07 6:00am)
Associated Students of Madison has a strange idea of ""representative student government."" Apparently, ASM intends to serve UW-Madison's student body by subverting UW System Policy and weaseling banned money into a budget that strictly prohibits it.
