If a University of Wisconsin professor submitted research for peer review as skimpy on detail and supporting numbers as a recent study by the UW-Waukesha Study Group, it is doubtful that the research would ever see the light of day. University officials need to provide the assumptions and a breakdown of their numbers if they want to quiet critics and allay suspicions that the real purpose of the study was to quash a proposal to merge the four-year UW-Milwaukee with the two-year UW-Waukesha.
