For Wisconsin and the World A Strategic Framework for the University of Wisconsin–Madison 2015–2019 for wisconsin and the world Focusing a Great University on Its Core Mission, Public Purpose, and Global Reach A Strategic Framework for the University of Wisconsin–Madison Among the world’s leading universities, the University of Wisconsin–Madison is distinctive in its scale and breadth, the premium we place on our relevance to society, and our commitment to inclusivity in the broadest sense. The combination of these attributes enables us to be fully equipped to address the complex problems facing the modern world. The strategic framework outlined here is designed to chart a course for 2015–2019 that will not only protect our legacy of research, teaching, and public service, but also will encourage new ideas from all corners of the campus and transform our state, nation, and world. This framework has evolved from a rigorous self-study conducted in 2009 during the university’s reaccreditation process. We experienced significant achievements in key priorities that served as the core of our 2009–2014 framework, and that very success convinced us to continue along this path as we begin the next five years. The priorities have been updated to build on our momentum and to take bold steps toward our vision. We believe that the next five years offer enormous potential and promise for UW–Madison, and we invite you to join us on this journey. Rebecca Blank, Chancellor Sarah C.

  • Wisconsin Topic Ideas for National History Day Research
    Wisconsin Topic Ideas for National History Day Research General Topic Ideas for Students Interested in Exploring the History of Our State National History Day in Wisconsin Updated: Summer 2010 1 A Warning for All Researchers! What follows is a very GENERAL list of topic ideas for you to consider. This list is by no means complete or exhaustive of Wisconsin history. There are many, many more fantastic topics to consider! These topics are NOT THEME SPECIFIC. You will need to take a closer look at each potential topic and consider how it fits with the annual theme for NHD. This is a general list. All the topics listed in this book WILL NOT fit the annual theme. Selecting a topic from this list does not guarantee a WINNING PROJECT. Selecting a topic is just the first step. You will need to follow through with good research, a strong argument, and a clear presentation. Selecting a topic from this list isn’t the final step. Many of these topics need to be further NARROWED in order for them to be a suitable National History Day project. Why Choose a Wisconsin Topic? The National History Day program doesn’t have any requirements or give you any advantage in choosing a Wisconsin topic. Wisconsin history, however, is full of great ideas for your History Day project. It is easy to overlook the history right around us, but your National History Day project can help you to find these amazing local stories that helped shape your history! Armed with local resources and strong research, you can become an authority on your topic and your project could be more competitive than a topic that many other students across the state or nation could choose.

  • The Wisconsin Idea: the Vision That Made Wisconsin Famous
    1 “Trying to plan for the future without a sense of the past is like trying to plant cut flowers” --Daniel Boorstin, historian and Librarian of Congress The Wisconsin Idea: The Vision that Made Wisconsin Famous Introduction To the practitioners who comprise UW-Madison’s Community Partnerships and Outreach (CPO) Staff Network, the Wisconsin Idea is at the heart of their day-to-day work with communities in Wisconsin and beyond. But the original meaning of the Wisconsin Idea has faded over time, replaced by a generic public service mandate. (1) “The Boundaries of the University are the Boundaries of the State” The “Year of the Wisconsin Idea” offers us an opportunity to reflect on how the Wisconsin Idea guides our practice. We chose to explore the history of the emergence of the Wisconsin Idea in an attempt to renew and clarify our vision for why and how we engage with the public to address pressing issues. It turns out that the history of the University’s engagement with the State offers much more relevant guidance than we would have imagined. The values that drove the founders of the WI Idea—truth, self- governance, egalitarianism, integrity, trust and social capital—are the same values that represent effective, democratic partnerships today. It’s evident in our practice, and now it’s evident in our history as well, thanks to the work of Gwen Drury, Ph.D. student in Educational Policy and Leadership Analysis at UW-Madison. The rich history she details here brings us closer to our best practices—equitable, reciprocal engagement in which knowledge is co-created by the University and communities working together on issues that matter to all of us.

    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION OFFICE OF THE GENERAL COUNSEL January 15, 2021 Chancellor Mark Mone University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Office of the Chancellor Chapman Hall 202 2310 E. Hartford Ave Milwaukee, WI 53201 Via Electronic Mail Re: Preliminary Inquiry Regarding Possible Violations of 20 U.S.C. § 1011f Dear Chancellor Mone: Section 117 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, 20 U.S.C. § 1011f, requires the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (“UWM”) to disclose gifts, contracts, and/or restricted and conditional gifts or contracts from or with foreign sources to the U.S. Department of Education (“Department”). These reports are posted at https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/about/data- center/school/foreign-gifts. UWM is classified as a “Carnegie Research-1” or “R-1” institution and ranked 192nd in the nation by total R&D expenditure according to data reported by the National Science Foundation. The NSF reported UWM’s 2017 R&D expenditures at $54,000,000. Carnegie R-1 institutions conduct the bulk of U.S. academic research and are collectively entrusted with billions in taxpayer funds each year. They also tend to collaborate closely with foreign sources, accounting for over eighty-five percent of all funds reported to the Department. UMW’s self-described collaboration with foreign sources includes partnership agreements with over 200 institutions worldwide and information and support online for the development of international agreements. However, UWM has apparently never filed a Section 117 report. By comparison, Auburn University-Montgomery, ranked by NSF 788th in total R&D expenditures at $430,000, reported twenty-four foreign contracts in the period from 2013 to 2017.

  • October 10, 2019 Chancellor Rebecca
    October 10, 2019 Chancellor Rebecca Blank Office of the Chancellor 161 Bascom Hall 500 Lincoln Drive Madison, WI 53706 RE: Student Free Speech and Safety Concerns Dear Chancellor Blank, I am writing to you today regarding a very troubling event that took place this past Wednesday on your campus and which has been widely reported in local and online media. As reported by the Wisconsin State Journal, a UW-Madison student was video-taped defacing the windows of the UW-Madison College Republicans’ office on campus with demeaning signs containing highly-charged, visceral language which were seemingly meant to intimidate and cause a disturbance. Additionally, the student engaging in this behavior was doing so while blaring a song on her phone entitled “FDT” (F*** Donald Trump) by rapper YG which, in addition to explicit language, contain inferences towards the harming of the President of the United States. Further, according to the Wisconsin State Journal article reporting the matter, when a university employee approached the student requesting that she please stop, the student replied with an expletive and aggressive language and refused to stop. The article continues, “Two female students were in the office during the duration of the [events] and Christens said they feared for their safety, afraid to leave because of the demonstrator’s aggressive behavior.” As a result of these events, I am requesting a thorough investigation into this matter by you, the UW’s Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards, and the UW Police Department. Additionally, I request that you provide me – consistent with all laws and regulations - with a complete report as to the process UW will be using to investigate and respond, findings from the investigation, including any disciplinary actions resulting therefrom, as well as any modifications and/or clarifications to UW’s campus free speech policy and any anti-intimidation and anti- harassment policy.
