Our View: Changes, scrutiny needed in budget process

Changes to the UW System. As we wrote last week in this space, we oppose splitting the University of Wisconsin-Madison from the rest of the UW System. While we agree that changes are necessary to allow universities to be more flexible and more efficient, they should be applied to the entirety of the system — not just to Madison. This is better achieved through standalone legislation than through a provision in the budget bill.
