Last year around this time, The Daily Cardinal Editorial Board penned ?UW needs to pay commencement speakers.? The column was primarily in response to the announcement University of Wisconsin -Madison Alumnus Carol Bartz was to be the spring 2012 commencement speaker. The editorial board was not optimistic that the former Yahoo and Autodesk?s CEO would deliver a rousing address. Somewhat paradoxically, this year?s announced commencement speaker, Anders Holm, did not have his credentials so stringently examined by this board.
