Faculty from a University of Wisconsin System campus are making a protest trek to Madison, protesting cuts to the UW System. Associate professor James Hartwick, one of the walkers, notes faculty will face a seven to ten percent pay cut under Governor Scott Walker?s budget repair bill. ?Maybe that doesn?t sound so bad, but faculty already make between 11 and 21 percent less than they would make at a comparable institution out of state,? said Hartwick. UW Whitewater faculty are not unionized.
