There has been some griping from several killjoy professors at the welcome University of Wisconsin officials gave Thursday?s visit by the president to the campus. To ease the task of organizing the event ? which drew more than 30,000 students and community members to Bascom Hill and surrounding areas ? the UW allowed the signup for event tickets to run the ticketing process. The rally was a huge success.
If Mitt Romney comes to the campus, he should be accorded precisely the same treatment. The same goes for Libertarian Gary Johnson or Green Jill Stein….The cure for what ails democracy is always more democracy ? especially on a campus where a central premise is the ?sifting and winnowing? of ideas. As long as the UW treats all campaigns in the same manner, all will be well.
