Rhetoric gets a little heated in $1 million gift spat

Take my money – please.

You’d think they’d find a way to spend it, but the folks at the supposedly cash-starved University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee are sitting on a $1 million grant from the Indian Community School of Milwaukee.

Spending a million bucks, now that’s the type of problem most university bosses would die for.

Instead, the two sides are only now making progress in this most unusual spat over who’s going to be stuck with the 1999 grant: UWM has finally agreed to keep the loot, which was earmarked to train teachers in educating Indian students.
