Scott Walker’s proposed $300 million higher education cut comes as other states are putting money back into colleges

Of course, the same proposal strips away several laws governing UW, including laws guaranteeing tenure and ones that would allow students and faculty say in how the universities are run. The Board of Regents would have total say in how the system runs, from issuing bonds to setting pay. And who nominates the people for that Board? You guessed it: Walker himself. But why worry about who a guy who yanked a nominee when he found their name on a recall petition might nominate?
