Opinion: Wiscard good for UWâ??s funds, bad for studentsâ??

Last week, the University of Wisconsin Credit Union and our esteemed university formed a partnership that will allow our Wiscards to double as debit cards. Finally. For too long, college students have struggled with this notion of â??I like money, but I wish it were easier to spend,â? and now, thanks to this historic marriage of interests, we can rest easy knowing our student IDs go to a greater use that once-a-month library and SERF visits. Yes children, now instead of using your parentsâ?? money to buy pizza from Edâ??s, you can use it wherever Visa is accepted.
