To get a taste of how bad the relationship is between the Legislature and the University of Wisconsin System, listen to Dale Schultz, Jim Doyle and John Wiley:
“There is a lot of tension,” acknowledged Schultz (R-Richland Center), majority leader of the Senate.
“The relationship is very poor,” conceded Doyle, the state’s Democratic governor.
“I’ve been on the faculty for 30 years and in administration for 20 of those, and I don’t remember a time when it was worse than it is now,” said Wiley, chancellor of UW-Madison.
