Editorial: Ray Cross and UW regents should answer faculty call to rethink approach

Cross has been a weak advocate for the UW System and its students — too mild in his defenses of higher education and too willing to accept compromises that harm UW-Madison and other campuses. The majority of regents have been worse; they have taken positions that have undermined the integrity and the strength of the UW System. Some outstanding faculty members have left; others are thinking about doing so. And those who remain have been undercut.
