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.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
During Monday’s meeting, alders heard from current UW-Madison undergraduate and graduate students, along with representatives from Core Spaces.
Letter to the editor: I took several trips to that campus to watch the 1985 Chicago Bears team practice at that facility. When watching their practice, you could basically stand near the sidelines and watch the 1985 Bears defense scrimmage against running back Walter Payton. The players and coaches were very accessible after the scrimmage.
At the end of every school year, the dumpsters outside the dorms are filled with many reusable items that end up in landfills. This waste harms the environment and represents a missed opportunity to help others in the community.
“For the general community, I think the risk is pretty low,” said Dr. Nasia Safdar, a professor in infectious diease and infectino control at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health
The University of Wisconsin-Madison, the flagship of the UW system, proudly operates the so-called Target of Opportunity Program (TOP). It allows academic departments to obtain waivers from the requirement to post job positions publicly and instead hire “diverse” candidates directly. The university provides the irresistible incentive of salary funding for approved hires. Public records of internal TOP requests obtained by my group, the Institute for Reforming Government, show blatant, widespread and pernicious racial classification of faculty applicants that is difficult to reconcile with the Supreme Court’s recent decision.
Dr Bruce Klein from the Medical School at the University of Wisconsin has been researching the infection for about 40 years. He mentioned that the virus is underreported and that reported cases in Wisconsin are uncommon.
It was not an isolated push. As Sotomayor prepared for commencement weekend at the University of California, Davis law school, her staff pitched officials there on buying copies of signed books in connection with the event. Before a visit to the University of Wisconsin, the staff suggested a book signing.
John Gross, a law professor at the University of Wisconsin and the director of the Public Defender Project, said the special statute is often called “John Doe prosecution.” States with older laws, before elected prosecutor roles existed, required their laws to allow for a direct filing of criminal complaints by a citizen.
Athletic director Chris McIntosh reinstated Turner after an inquiry into his OWI arrest on June 26, according to a news release Monday. Turner’s arrest triggered the athletic department’s student-athlete discipline policy, which was changed last year to include OWI in the offenses that warranted automatic suspensions. Turner was not allowed to participate in practices, but had access to the weight room and sports medicine facilities.
Badger linebacker Jordan Turner was reinstated to the football team, UW-Madison Athletic Director Chris McIntosh announced Monday.Turner was indefinitely suspended from the team last month for violating the student athlete discipline policy.
Turner was previously suspended in June from competition and practice after violating the UW Department of Athletics’ Student-Athlete Discipline Policy.

While demand for child care is high, supply is limited and likely to decrease further. A March report from the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Institute for Research on Poverty showed that more than 60% of providers planned to increase tuition, while 32% were considering leaving their jobs or closing their centers if Child Care Counts did not continue.

“It’s probably more common than we think,” said Dr. Bruce Klein of the University of Wisconsin Medical School.
After retiring from the UW Madison Department of Letters and Science she kept very active with water aerobics and solving crossword puzzles.
Chancellor Jennifer L. Mnookin at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, the state’s flagship campus, said in a statement after the ruling that the school had increased its underrepresented undergraduate student population by about 50 percent over the last five years, but still lagged many of their peers. They would need to change admissions policies to comply with the law. “At the same time, I want to reiterate that our commitment to the value of diversity within our community, including racial diversity, remains a bedrock value of the institution.”
Admissions and financial aid, recruitment and retention and support of students, are so intertwined at colleges that it’s natural that people are asking questions after the Supreme Court ruling, said Nicholas Hillman, a professor in the School of Education at UW-Madison.
Climate change makes extreme heat more likely and more intense. Farm work is particularly dangerous because workers raise their internal body temperature by moving, lifting and walking at the same time they’re exposed to high heat and humidity, said Dr. Jonathan Patz, chair of health and the environment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
“We’re doing it for the Carbone Cancer Center out at the University of Wisconsin. We’re both University of Wisconsin graduates. His sister died a couple of years ago, then my sister died this year on Palm Sunday of cancer, so we now had a cause and that’s when we decided let’s do this for cancer,” said Schmelter.
In 2021, the University of Wisconsin at Madison displayed the flag of the Ho-Chunk Nation on campus to acknowledge the land taken from the tribe.
“The justices of the court were reluctant to make a kind of strong, strict statement that we must run in the same way that other states do and were confronted with trying to thread the various needles, you know, did you specify every possible thing?” University of Wisconsin-Madison political science professor Howard Schweber explained.
Thomas played for the Badgers from 2003-2006, earning All-American honors during his junior and senior seasons.
The ideal candidate was someone who’s worked at different levels, as a head coach and an assistant, with various levels of program support and, yes, with goaltending experience to fill in a gap on the staff in that area. Murdock checked the boxes. He was announced Thursday as an assistant coach and was heading to Madison to start putting things in place.
Evers, who used his partial veto powers to rewrite portions of the Republican-authored 2023-25 budget, eliminated the earmarked funding that would have helped Washington County create a community college concept that merged the resources of UW-Milwaukee at Washington County and Moraine Park Technical College, both of which have campuses in West Bend.
UW will pay UW-Platteville up to $150,398 in facility rental costs and for lodging and food during the Aug. 1-8 stay in southwestern Wisconsin. That doesn’t include transportation to and from Platteville, a 72-mile drive from the team’s facilities at Camp Randall Stadium.
Evers was unable to undo the $32 million cut to the University of Wisconsin, which was funding that Republicans said would have gone toward diversity, equity and inclusion — or DEI — programming and staff. The budget Evers signed does allow for the university to get the funding later if it can show it would go toward workforce development and not DEI.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said Thursday the University of Wisconsin System won’t be able to get $32 million the Legislature set aside for its workforce programs unless it eliminates programs addressing diversity and equity.
Another area that Evers vetoed was the elimination of 188 jobs in the University of Wisconsin system that were focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion, a Republican priority. He did not roll back a $32 million University of Wisconsin budget cut aimed at curbing funds for DEI programs, however. Under the Republicans’ proposal, the University of Wisconsin is still able to access those funds, but it must get approval from GOP legislators regarding its use first.
The UW System: A total of $1.7 billion will go to projects across the UW System statewide. Some of the big ticket items in there include $285 million for replacing Camp Randall Sports Center and turning it into an indoor football facility, $347 million for replacing the Engineering Building and demolishing the Computer Aided Engineering Facility at UW-Madison, and $231 million for demolition of Phillips Hall and the completion of a new Science/Health Science Building at UW-Eau Claire.
Aproposed community college pilot in Washington County is in jeopardy after Gov. Tony Evers vetoed $3.35 million in state funding for the project Wednesday.

Madison Municipal Court Records show Turner was cited for OWI on the afternoon of June 26 as he drove on the beltline at South Whitney Way. Records show he was also cited for failing to have control of his vehicle and unsafe passing.
“A lot of disparities we are seeing come far before anyone has contact with the medical care system,” Dr. Tiffany Green said. Green is an associate professor at UW-Madison in the departments of population health and obstetrics and gynecology.
“ConnectRx, essentially, is a social prescription,” Adrian Jones, UW Health’s director of community health improvement, said. UW Health serves as the host site for the program, which includes all the major health systems in the county, the Black Maternal and Child Health Alliance, the Foundation for Black Women’s Wellness, Public Health Madison and Dane County, the Madison Metropolitan School District and United Way of Dane County.

According to a University of Wisconsin analysis, the Madison Legislature’s plan would have boosted capital investment by 1.5% and economic output by 1.25%. This would certainly help the Badger State amid a manufacturing slowdown. The Institute for Supply Management reported this week that its manufacturing index dropped to the lowest level since May 2020.
A surprisingly wide range of medical conditions are being shown to be linked to sexual violence. Many may not appear until years after the events. Cancer is one such condition. “A history of abuse may increase a woman’s risk of and susceptibility to cancer,” a review article by researchers at the University of Wisconsin concludes. Cervical cancer is the most prevalent type linked to abuse, and some studies find more breast cancer in survivors (other research does not support this finding). One possible mechanism: heightened immune and inflammatory factors brought on by chronic stress that have been tied to cancer growth, the researchers note.
In addition, the budget also gives the University of Wisconsin System the ability to retain 188 positions that “had been targeted by the Legislature for work remotely related to diversity, equity, and inclusion,” per a press release from the governor’s office.

Gov. Tony Evers vetoed a Republican attempt to eliminate 188 UW System jobs related to diversity, equity and inclusion Wednesday, cuts that were intended by GOP lawmakers to curb DEI efforts on campuses across the state.
He said he would give the UW System the ability to retain 188 employees working in diversity, equity and inclusion offices that Republicans sought to eliminate.
“The position of the House speaker is essential because he will determine the agenda of Parliament, and so therefore the degree of political transformation,” said Tyrell Haberkorn, a Thai studies scholar at the University of Wisconsin.
Vos has also been a vocal opponent of diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, referring to such programs within the University of Wisconsin System as “indoctrination” despite a racist incident at the Madison campus making headlines in the spring. Although Wisconsin is operating with a projected $7 billion budget surplus, Vos and Republicans in the state Legislature voted to cut $32 million from the UW System’s budget unless it agrees to use the funds for workforce development rather than DEI efforts. The GOP plan also seeks to cut nearly 200 DEI jobs on UW campuses.
