UW-Madison has always claimed to be a forward-thinking, progressive school often responsible for shaping new beliefs on the national level. However, within the dialogue of same-sex marriage, UW-Madison has looked almost unrecognizable in its inaction regarding domestic partner benefits. University officials mandate forward thinking in UW-Madisonâ??s strategic plan, claiming, â??as progress is made, conditions evolve and the environment around us changesâ??we need to refresh and update our strategic priorities.â? Still, campus employees are denied domestic partner benefits, despite other universities and groups taking initiative in this area of great concern.
