MADISON, Wis. – University of Wisconsin System leaders moved Thursday to pull their assets out of companies that do business with the government of Sudan.

UW could not invest in companies who work with the Sudanese government or are complicit in what the U.S. government and other countries consider genocide in the Darfur region in western Sudan under a resolution adopted by a committee of UW System regents on Thursday.

“There are, in fact, fewer meth labs popping up around the state, but that’s not the same as saying the meth abuse problem has gone away,” said Mike Scott, director of the Center for Problem-Oriented Policing affiliated with UW- Madison. “As important as it is to reduce the local production of meth, one likely consequence is there’s going to be more meth that’s produced elsewhere and trafficked into the state of Wisconsin.”

Michael Scott, a former lawman and now a policing expert at the University of Wisconsin Law School, said ending the chase in such a case is a good – but not foolproof – way to resolve a dangerous situation.

“All the police can do is hope that their discontinuing the pursuit will be noticed by the person and (that person) will then bring their driving under control,” Scott said.
