Twelve months after protests over collective bargaining erupted in the state Capitol, Wisconsin's political division has only gotten worse.
About two weeks ago, The Princeton Review released a report ranking UW-Madison the fifth-highest-valued public university in the country-in other words, a steal of a deal. Sitting just behind the State University of New York-Binghamton, New College of Florida, the University of Virginia and the country's number one best deal, the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, UW-Madison's tuition, despite budget cuts, is relatively low compared to Big Ten schools across the country.
It is hard to imagine a neighborhood with a bigger target on it right now than West Mifflin Street.
The additional $25.5 million UW-Madison will have to cut over the next two years is already having a major impact on campus, and one of the most tangible ways in which students will feel the cuts is the elimination of 29 for-credit physical education classes after 2012. Everything from fencing to yoga to badminton will no longer be offered through the university. The very fact that so many classes are on the chopping block should be a red flag for students and faculty alike.
What is the ultimate purpose of the Associated Students of Madison? How does a UW-Madison student government benefit the student community? And more importantly, why should we care?
Voter ID law suppresses citizens' rights
Failure, thy name is ASM
What are the ultimate principles behind issuing a permit? To grant privileges to individuals that would otherwise be turned away if certain qualifications weren’t met. What is the purpose of a rally or demonstration? To further advocate a cause that otherwise isn’t being addressed. What is the overarching reason behind Gov. Scott Walker’s updated facilities policy? Take one guess.
And the plot thickens. In the midst of a boiling recall frenzy breaching its halfway point, Gov. Scott Walker approved $3.67 million in federal, state and local grant money for the "Transportation to Jobs" program. Designed to get, as Walker puts it, "Wisconsinites back on their feet by helping them get back to work," the program improves local transit services for low-income workers by increasing their travel options, thus providing more accessible transportation to work.
We are a little bit worried about this recall, and we are not alone. All you hear across this campus and across this city is that maybe organizers will get enough signatures to initiate a recall election, but there is nobody who can take down Scott Walker. For all of his critics, Walker also has loyal fans with very deep pockets, and that is a major factor in a race where campaign finance regulations are thrown out the window. He may not be well liked, but Walker certainly is feared. Unfortunately, that fear may be powerful enough to derail this whole effort.
The Daily Cardinal Editorial Board recently met with ASM members to discuss their upcoming internal budget, especially the request for $100,000 to fund a series of internal training sessions-we were not impressed.
To say the University of Wisconsin System has reached its peak in the budget crisis is to repeat a recycled and ubiquitous headline currently echoing throughout the state. While the impressive elongation of Wisconsin’s funding drought has started to drown out the severity of any new budget cuts, this editorial board recognizes that the funding storm currently hovering over the UW System—and the causalities sure to result from it—deserve immediate attention.
In a town filled with first-time renters and an uncountable number and variety of landlords, we as students have come to expect a few things. Namely, we’ve grown to accept that those big companies—Madison Property Management, in particular— will look to exploit at every turn the naivete and ignorance of their tenants.
