A stronger System-wide proposal at an earlier point, with more input from the chancellors, might have been more persuasive, but time may have run out on such an opportunity. I have never advocated for Madison at the expense of others. I do not share the view that changes in the system will damage the other campuses. We are firmly committed to collaboration with others and to our partnerships with other campuses.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Governor Scott Walker set to announce his 2011-2013 state budget next Tuesday (February 22), information has been leaking out about his proposals for UW-Madison.
