As usual, thereâ??s a controversy in Madison thatâ??s divided along political lines, with each side saying they represent the gospel truth and the other guys are being partisan hacks. And, as usual, the actual truth lies somewhere in between the combatants.
The row has to do with the University of Wisconsin System hiring state administration secretary Michael Morgan to be its chief operating officer….But the circumstances of his hiring are unusual.
….the UW folks admittedly knew how the hiring would be perceived. Yet they went ahead and made it look exactly like that. You’d think those in charge of the state’s public higher education would be, you know, smarter.
Like we said, the truth is caught in between the two sides, much like the public usually is.
