Tuesday?s article describing UW-Madison?s state-mandated ?performance report? was both enlightening and disturbing. UW System spokesman David Giroux deserves the understatement of the year award for his observation that UW-Madison serves ?a very different population of students compared to most other UW System campuses.? Make that all other. For one thing, median family income for UW-Madison students is pushing $100,000 per year. UW System President Kevin Reilly proclaims ?we?re making progress toward the goals we?ve set.? Would one of those goals be spending billions on new construction at UW-Madison over the last decade?
