Another summer draws quickly to a close, and we begin with excitement a new year at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. This year, I have challenged our faculty and staff to raise their awareness of how UWSP is seen by the people we serve, in the hopes of redoubling our commitment to the crucial practice of service...

Like Jon Foley, I do environmental work. And just as he is leaving the University of Wisconsin-Madison for a better opportunity at the University of Minnesota, I too left Wisconsin at the end of July...I am an international expert in a couple of domains, but business, industry and government in Wisconsin seem to work against the success I've cultivated elsewhere...

Each fall, thousands of new University of Wisconsin students pile into the dorms. Fresh out of high school, many of these students are anxious to live far from the watchful eye of their parents for the first time.

...Yet the next major Title IX debate on college campuses, and potentially the UW, likely will have nothing to do with sports. Over the past couple years, government agencies such as the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation and NASA have started undertaking Title IX compliance reviews in university science and engineering programs at a handful of schools across the nation. In fact, auditors from the Department of Energy visited UW-Madison April 1-2 to review its graduate physics program, and a final report is due out by the end of the year...

...Yet the demise of Caden Biosciences points to the ongoing problem of tracking public investments in so-called "new economy" companies. While there is often a flurry of attention when a firm lands funding, there is no mechanism in Wisconsin or most other states to follow their progress. And experts say the very nature of the technology sector makes it even harder to judge success or failure. It can take years to determine whether a start-up will produce a return or not...
Technical colleges in Wisconsin have more students than they've ever had. A recent surge, plus steady growth over the past decade has pushed enrollment to record levels.

One of the more influential and controversial studies of affirmative action in recent years came from Richard H. Sander in 2004. The law professor at the University of California at Los Angeles analyzed statistics about black law students and argued that they show that affirmative action hurts them by helping many gain admission to institutions where they are unlikely to be top students...Sander’s theory set off political and academic fireworks. They may be reignited with the release of a new study by the National Bureau of Economic Research that examines much of the same data Sander used...
