Cutting through the criticism of new Union South building

After reading past articles in the Badger Herald about the Wisconsin Union, we felt the campus should know more about the Wisconsin Union?s referendum process, distribution of segregated fees and student leadership program. We refer to recent Herald articles, including the Op-ed published on April 4, as well as the March 30 piece featuring grossly inaccurate comments alleging that the Union used student segregated fees to campaign to build the new Union. This letter will attempt to clear up some of the misconceptions often associated with the Wisconsin Union.
