UW-Madison trys to copy Lariviere, get out of the UW system.

2/17/2011: From Insidehighered.com. The UW-Madison head says:

“In my view, it is dangerous not only for UW-Madison, but for the entire System and the state to have the System administration and the regents oppose the possibility that its flagship campus, or any other campus, be given the tools it needs to preserve quality and contribute to economic recovery,” she wrote. There is nothing to be gained, in this economic and political environment, from opposing an innovative and helpful step that could move the entire system and state forward.”
