The University of Wisconsin, its flagship campus Madison, the U-W Extension and Colleges have all been mighty anxious lately in light of the assault on the UW budget by the Republican-controlled State Assembly. UW officials are decrying the cuts and predicting dire consequences if they are enacted.
