The question surrounding Interim Chancellor David Ward's term
length recently surfaced as UW-Madison's University Committee
requested he stay an additional year. While the interim position is
only allotted a single-year term during a search and screen
process, members of the UW faculty argue Ward's background,
collegiate experience and national insight put him in the best
position to lead UW-Madison through Wisconsin's rocky political
climate.

Early this week, UW-Madison fell under extreme scrutiny from a
political think tank for its alleged discriminatory admissions
practices, and in turn, aroused a legitimate fury in the campus
community. The Center for Equal Opportunity—a Virginia-based
conservative organization—released a report Monday night stating
that, based on ACT and SAT test scores as well as class rank,
UW-Madison enrollment rates significantly favor black and Hispanic
applicants over white and Asian ones.

Where you stand on the issue of Wisconsin's ""concealed carry""
law—which allows licensed gun owners to carry concealed weapons in
public places and businesses—likely comes down to one question: Do
you feel safer with more guns around you?

Walker worst for Wisconsin
(05/02/11 6:00am)
Until recently, the Associated Students of Madison's bafflingly
unorganized, unaccountable and bureaucratic funding system could
justifiably be compared to a wild game of Monopoly with student
segregated fees. This year, however, we were pleased to see ASM
make some refreshing and efficient changes when it came to getting
things done.

The first weeks in office for any newly-elected public officer
serve as a good time to lay groundwork for the agenda's most
pressing issues, so it makes sense that Madison Mayor Paul Soglin
jumped right into the action.

Most of the decisions surrounding the New Badger Partnership have
focused on its promise to keep UW-Madison competitive in spite of
deep budget cuts from the state. But beyond the financial benefits
of increased autonomy, public authority status also presents
UW-Madison students with a golden opportunity to strengthen shared
governance.
(04/13/11 6:00am)
In many cases, the Associated Students of Madison is the target of
undue criticism, even from us. But there's no doubt the recent
actions of a few high-profile ASM members warrant a critical
eye.

The future of UW-Madison's authority model grows hazier as
Chancellor Biddy Martin finds her brainchild gridlocked between UW
System officials and the Wisconsin state Legislature. As evidenced
by her e-mail sent to UW-Madison students last Thursday, Martin's
attempts to implement the New Badger Partnership—a plan to increase
UW-Madison's flexibility through the establishment of a public
authority model that would break the university from the UW
System—are growing increasingly desperate. Although Martin earned
the support of Gov. Scott Walker in his proposed biennial budget,
the idea of Wisconsin's most prestigious and economically viable
research institution stripping away from the UW System has sister
universities and the Board of Regents disconcerted.

Connections matter when it comes to getting a job, and we realize
politics is no different.

Working as a Madison Common Council alderman requires a pragmatic
approach to city politics, new policy initiatives and an openness
to differing opinions. That is why we are endorsing Sam Stevenson
for District 2.
(04/04/11 6:00am)
Sometimes, one candidate in an election is so head-and-shoulders
above his opponent the endorsement is a no-brainer. That is the
case in this year's race to represent District 8, where Scott
Resnick has shown that he is the best person to serve on Madison's
Common Council.
(03/30/11 6:00am)
It's no secret that the race for Dane County Executive has become
about which candidate can best distance themself from Gov. Scott
Walker. Both Dane County Supervisor Eileen Bruskewitz and state
Rep. Joe Parisi, D-Madison, seem to have similar plans on a number
of important issues.
(03/30/11 6:00am)
Most Madisonians consider Mayor Dave Cieslewicz a nice guy, and we
won't disagree. But the city faces a new challenge every day, and
we don't want it to lose its unique character. That's why we're
endorsing former mayor, local legend and current challenger Paul
Soglin on April 5.

With Wisconsin legislators between sessions and the budget repair
bill temporarily tied up in the courts, state Republicans and
Democrats have—relatively speaking—taken a welcome break from the
political pettiness that's become so standard this term.

The Capitol hasn't exactly been the most friendly place lately.
Gov. Scott Walker has made it his mission to go after Wisconsin's
ferociously greedy teachers and prison guards, the Fitzgerald
brothers struck a decisive blow against Democratic senate staffers
by taking away their copy machine privileges and state Sen. Lena
Taylor, D-Milwaukee, apparently feels that she can compare
Wisconsin's Republicans to gang rapists. With all the vitriol
flying around, it makes the latest proposal from state Sen. Tim
Cullen, D-Janesville, all the more refreshing.

Starting on Feb. 21, The Daily Cardinal and countless other news
outlets throughout the state began receiving an onslaught of
e-mails from the governor's press office titled, ""Collective
Bargaining is a Fiscal Issue.""
(03/06/11 6:00am)
Last Tuesday, Gov. Scott Walker released his much-anticipated
2011-'13 biennial budget proposal. Built to eliminate Wisconsin's
$3.6 billion deficit, the UW System expected the proposal to
contain drastic cuts as well as major hits to pertinent educational
programs—adding to already heated contentions over Walker's budget
repair bill.
(02/27/11 6:00am)
As state Assembly Democrats tried to delay a vote on Gov. Scott
Walker's budget repair bill early Friday morning, Assembly Speaker
Pro Tempore Bill Kramer, R-Waukesha, committed an act that one
Democrat accurately described as ""a stain on democracy.""
