Dear Editor: The resident assistant religious policy issue has exploded at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. The taxpayers, as well the students of this state, have made it abundantly clear that the current verbal policy restricting RAs from holding, leading or organizing religious activities in their dormitory is wrong. This policy does not represent the values of Wisconsin. Furthermore, it is in violation of the First Amendment.
….The negative publicity that the UW System is receiving is unhealthy, and the UW System needs to make sure that the support of public funding from the taxpayers is not deterred with this issue.
Jeff Baldovin, Eau Claire
