  • 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.

  • 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.

Its n oriety is well deserved even if its precise functions in the service of the American Empire often isappear under a cloud of fictional images or crude conspiratorial theories. The Africa Research Gr up is now able to make available the text of a document which helps fill many of the existing ga in understanding the expanded role intelligence agellci~s play in plannin and executing f reign policy objectives. "Intelligence and Foreign Policy," as the document is titled, illumi tes the role of covert action. It enumerates the mechanisms which allow the United States t interfere, with almost routine regularity, in the internal affairs of sovereign nations through ut the world.- We are p~blishing it for many of th~ ,same reason that .American newspapers de ·ed governmel)t censorship to disclose the secret,o igins ,0 the War against the people of Indo hina. Unlike those newspapers, however, we feel the pu~lic ~as more than a "right to know"; it has the duty to struggle against the system which needs and uses the CIA. In addition to the docum nt, the second section of the pamphlet examines CIA inv~lve~ent in a specific setting: its role in the pacification of the Leftist opposition in Kenya, and its promotion of "cultural nationalism" i lother reas of Africa.
