UW-Madison Chancellor Biddy Martin is proposing changes to Gov. Scott Walker?s budget to give other University of Wisconsin System campuses more flexibility, while also maintaining language that would make UW-Madison a public authority.
She sent the letter to members of the state Legislature?s budget committee a day after Sen. Luther Olsen, R-Ripon, charged UW System administration and Martin to come to a compromise. They have been fighting over the future of UW-Madison within the UW System.
