Cardinal View: Satya Rhodes-Conway will provide the change Madison needs
(03/27/19 2:02am)
Paul Soglin is practically synonymous with Madison politics and has created quite a legacy for himself, serving as mayor for longer than anyone else in Madison’s history. He’s worked toward providing the city with affordable housing, improving public transit and hiring more women and minorities in the city during his 22-year tenure.
Cardinal View: Time to expand, improve the Ethnic Studies requirement at UW
(03/07/19 4:17pm)
The Wisconsin Idea, according to UW-Madison’s website, seeks to “influence people’s lives beyond the boundaries of the classroom.” It is the state’s application of what the world calls a liberal arts education.

Cardinal View: Women's health programs at UW are a step in the right direction
(02/21/19 8:57pm)
As of October, boxes of affordable emergency contraceptives sit behind the counters at the student unions. There is no denying that these new additions to Badger Market break down barriers, allowing women at UW-Madison to take more control of their reproductive health. The decision to provide accessible and affordable emergency contraception on campus is the latest addition in a push to make women’s health services more accessible to students.

Cardinal View: Expectations for new Evers administration
(01/24/19 2:43am)
With the inauguration of Governor Tony Evers, Wisconsinites on both sides of the aisle are left wondering how this upcoming term will differ from the Walker administration.
Will UW's partnership with Foxconn succeed?
(10/25/18 2:00pm)
As students prepared to return to school last August, UW-Madison announced it had formed a partnership with Foxconn Technology Group. The partnership included a variety of components, namely a $100 million investment from the company that will establish a new engineering facility, and plenty of internship opportunities for students. This substantial agreement came less than a year after the state agreed to a $3.2 billion incentive package to bring the Taiwanese company into Wisconsin.
Cardinal View: Evers is best choice for next governor
(10/11/18 5:23pm)
There is little glamour to the governorship of a state — at least here in the Midwest. Many people see the position of governor as someone who appears on TV every once in a while to unveil grandiose plans that never seem to happen, or as someone who provides leadership only in times of trouble, such as during natural disasters.

Sexual assault climate
Collaboration, communication key in redefining #TheRealUW
(04/25/16 4:00pm)

(03/14/16 1:00pm)
Election season is once again upon us.
Cardinal View: UW System lacks transparency, action on diversity
(02/04/16 1:00pm)
Students on college campuses across the nation have been protesting to hold their administrators accountable for evaluating diversity and making a genuine effort to improve the experience of students of color. Although UW System administration has recognized the necessity of student voice, and UW System President Ray Cross has met with student protesters, these positive steps have been clouded by miscommunication and a lack of tangible action.
Cardinal View: Soglin slips in tackling homelessness issue
(11/05/15 4:35am)
Mayor Paul Soglin, since his landslide reelection victory in April 2015, has once again taken upon himself to address Madison’s homeless problem with rhetoric rather than substantial policy. Over the summer, Mayor Soglin proposed a new city ordinance which would tackle problematic loitering and lodging in Madison’s Central Business District. While not directly mentioning the homeless, the ordinance, which Madison’s Common Council has since voted down, attempted to clear out downtown of individuals whom were causing an undue nuisance to both city residents and the various business of downtown Madison.
Cardinal View: Soglin is still the right choice for Madison
(04/06/15 6:00am)
In the fall of 1967, 22-year-old Paul Soglin and his UW-Madison peers were engaged in a peaceful sit-in to protest the campus presence of Dow Chemical Company, one of the leading producers of napalm during the Vietnam War. When Madison police attempted to remove the students from the building in which they were protesting, the confrontation turned violent and many students, including Soglin, were beaten by officers. Soglin was later chosen to lead the student strike that followed the incident.
Cardinal View: Seeing through Madison's progressive haze
(03/12/15 7:00am)
Madison—whose unofficial label is “77 square miles surrounded by reality”—is hailed as a progressive haven.
Cardinal View: Right-to-work legislation is pure politics
(03/02/15 6:37am)
As the Republicans swept through statehouses, governor’s mansions and Congress in the Tea Party wave of 2010, there was an almost immediate reaction from one of the left’s biggest supporters: unions. Legislation proposed in the beginning of 2011 that would bar public sector unions from a practice known as collective bargaining sparked the reaction. From Madison, Wis., to Columbus, Ohio, union members became the backbone of weeks-long protests that gripped Rust Belt states.
Cardinal View: High-rises bring affordability concerns
(02/19/15 4:00am)
Creating a downtown housing market based almost solely on luxury apartments, in the eyes of this Editorial Board, does not provide sufficient means for stunting student housing prices. Moreover, it puts the needs of students, who, for what it’s worth, have in recent history been the backbone of Madison’s downtown economy, behind those of young professionals—a group the city is clearly working to attract with new development.
Cardinal View: UW’s thank you video done in bad taste
(11/20/14 6:32am)
Amidst the game day haze, between the criss-cross wave and Jump Around, fans looking to the Camp Randall Stadium jumbotron may have seen a video from the UW Athletic Department.
Cardinal View: Do not stop at police body cameras
(10/23/14 3:03am)
In the new millennium, we can watch a police officer kill a citizen as easily as we can start a Netflix trial. These past few years of headlines, from Florida to Ferguson and beyond, have served as an archival of wrongdoing: a grandparent being beaten into the soil, black children being shot down in their neighborhoods, peaceful protestors swallowing tear gas in the night. America has swallowed its tax dollars into a whirlpool of distrust, time and again, leaving citizens clamoring for relief from the ailment of a system they can no longer trust.
