If UW-Madison Chancellor Biddy Martin was interested in talking with you about a new business model for the university that would give the UW the ability to raise more of its own money and become less dependent on the state budget would you be interested in talking to her? Well, she is, and you can.
In this month?s issue of Madison Magazine Chancellor Martin makes the case for what she?s calling the new Badger Partnership that would give the university greater freedom to generate revenue, acknowledging that the UW, as she puts it operates in a very different environment from other state agencies, one that is increasingly market driven. Chancellor Martin has agreed to a live web chat on the idea, Wednesday from 6 to 7 p.m. hosted by madisonmagazine.com. You?re welcome to join in the discussion about the future of the UW and the state.
