New tenure rules will hurt UW System — Claudia Grams Pogreba

Letter to the editor: UW has maintained a global presence and has been considered one of the top ranked public universities for decades. We are rapidly losing that status due to the unwillingness of the majority of our elected state representatives to invest in UW and the System, and by stripping our professors of the right to academic freedom. This decision systematically allows chancellors the “right” to dismiss faculty and eliminate programs to align with Gov. Scott Walker’s policies to defund the System.
