The editorial “Scott Walker’s School Days” Feb. 23 is misleading on at least two points. First, it states that, “the demonstrators even object to Mr. Walker’s suggestion that UW’s ‘Wisconsin idea’ mission include a goal ‘to develop human resources to meet the state’s workforce needs.’” In fact, the objection was to the removal of phrases including, “basic to every purpose of the system is the search for truth” and “to extend knowledge and its application beyond the boundaries of its campuses.” (Subscription required.)
