61 in Legislature rip UW

Sixty-one lawmakers signed on to a legislative resolution this week calling on the University of Wisconsin-Madison to fire lecturer Kevin Barrett.

The resolution “condemns” Provost Patrick Farrell for his decision to allow Kevin Barrett to teach his fall-semester course on Islam. Barrett, who says the United States government was complicit in the Sept. 11 attacks, has a one-semester appointment for $8,247.
