Conservative UW-Madison Group Wants Funds Restored (AP)

A conservative college group is threatening to sue the University of Wisconsin-Madison, claiming the school wiped out its funding as retaliation against its stance on global warming and other issues.

Collegians for a Constructive Tomorrow, or CFACT, promotes the idea that environmental issues are better handled by the free market, not by government interference.

One of its prominent issues is global warming. CFACT national director Bill Gilles called the phenomenon “overblown” and said government responses would be so obtrusive they’d do more harm than good.
