It?s a myth that Wisconsin?s best and brightest leave the state for opportunities elsewhere. That?s according to a report put out by the University of Wisconsin System, which shows 81 percent of alumni who were Wisconsin residents before enrolling stay in the state after graduating from a UW System institution. Overall ? including non-residents ? 67 percent of alumni remained in Wisconsin. At UW-Madison, 69 percent of alumni who were Wisconsin residents as students remained in the state, the report shows, compared with 92 percent at UW-Milwaukee. Noted: survey by political science professor Ken Goldstein.
