A group of 10 UW-Madison professors is recommending the universityâ??s Faculty Policies and Procedures be amended to account for potential academic freedom problems associated with a 2006 U.S. Supreme Court ruling.
….Also at Monday’s Faculty Senate meeting, the University Committee is requesting that FP & P be amended so that departments on campus can recommend certain employees of the Morgridge Institute for Research — the privately funded research enterprise established to partner with the state-funded Wisconsin Institute for Discovery — become members of the UW-Madison faculty.
