….The University of Wisconsin System and UW-Madison are easy punching bags for those who want to score cheap political points. Like any big institution, the UW System has its share of flaws. Like any big institution, it is slow to respond, slow to change, slow to learn from its own mistakes. Like any big institution, it has its share of prima donnas. Maybe even more than its share of the latter.
But imagine what life in Wisconsin would be without the University of Wisconsin System. A lot of people seem unable or unwilling to do that.
