It might help to achieve that progress if the new Demography study, co-authored by sociologists Michael Massoglia and Michael T. Light, both of the University of Wisconsin at Madison, had provided an account of exactly why incarceration generally, and Black male incarceration in particular, has declined, but such explanations lie beyond the scope of their research.
Wisconsin schools that had a longer period of virtual or hybrid learning during the pandemic saw graduation rates rise among wealthier students and fall among those at an economic disadvantage, a new study found.
The study from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, published in the journal Educational Researcher, analyzed data from 429 public high schools in the state during the 2020-21 school year and two years before then.
Meanwhile at UW-Madison, groundskeeping staff are continuing to water key campus locations, such as the fields along Lake Mendota and the lawns in front of the Kohl Center and Gordon Commons. Other less-frequented sites on campus are watered to keep vegetation alive but not necessarily green, to minimize water use, said Greg Bump, a UW-Madison spokesperson.
Among today’s major recipients is the UW’s longtime Odyssey Project, which received $35,400 for the college classes it offers in south Madison to adults who never had a chance to attend college and $50,000 to Access Community Health’s efforts to bring dental care to people without insurance coverage.
The reversal of last month’s controversial decision by the council to deny rezoning an area just east of UW’s campus will pave the way for the 12-story development from Core Spaces of Chicago, who have put up other student housing projects in the city like HUB and The James.
During Monday’s meeting, alders heard from current UW-Madison undergraduate and graduate students, along with representatives from Core Spaces.
“(The) clinic is actively involved with all of the communities from which people come,” said Fred Coleman, a 20-year clinic partner and psychiatrist on the clinical faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
They’ve shared a household, a Pewaukee High School legacy, an NFL football field and now a cereal box.
Wheaties, the iconic brand that’s pictured prominent athletes on its orange cereal boxes since the 1930s, will release a new box that features J.J. and T.J. Watt on the front. The University of Wisconsin standouts have combined for four NFL Defensive Player of the Year trophies, and J.J. has been busy in his first offseason of retirement, recently announcing he’d be joining the NFL on CBS crew in the fall.
Ball, a two-time All-American tailback and 5,000-plus-yard rusher with 83 career touchdowns, learned in late March that he will be inducted into the Wisconsin Athletics Hall of Fame. As one of 13 members in the 2023 Class – headlined by J.J. Watt – Ball will be recognized on Hall of Fame weekend, Sept. 15-16 in Madison.
The University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team was just two days removed from wrapping up its second straight losing season when program legend Tony Granato was shown the door in March.
Letter to the editor: UW-Madison produces $27 for every dollar invested, according to research. By cutting funding for UW, Republicans are not making a fiscal decision (or they are really bad at fiscal decisions). Rather, they are seeking to limit the number of thoughtful, educated, contributing members of society who come from our institutions of higher education.
The dry conditions come as corn is nearing its pollination phase, a critical six- to eight-day period that will help determine fall yields, said Joe Lauer, an agronomist at UW-Madison and an expert in corn research.
“It’s really a pretty critical time for just getting the kernel developing,” said Lauer, who has 14 sites around the state that hold 13,000 plots of more than 400 types of corn hybrids. “We need rain terribly. It’s just incredibly dry at this point. The corn actually looks pretty good yet, but we’re entering a critical phase.”
