Chronicle of Higher Education : While continuing to battle public-sector unions, the governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker (R), has proposed that the University of Wisconsin’s flagship Madison campus be split from the state university system. The plan would give campus administrators more freedom to raise and spend money as they choose, cutting red tape. The campus would not, however, receive a boost in state funding. Walker’s budget, which is before the state congress, includes a cut of $250 million in Madison’s budget for the next two years. The Madison campus is home to one of the largest physics departments in the US.
