New Badger Partnership to be removed from state budget - Katherine Krueger, Badger Herald

Following months of polarizing debate among the broader campus community, Republicans leaders said the proposal for public authority status for the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus does not have the support necessary to move forward. State Republicans said Thursday that the plan to split the Madison campus from the UW System, a proposal which inspired sharp criticism for New Badger Partnership supporters and Chancellor Biddy Martin, will not be considered in the budget and representatives will instead pursue flexibilities for all campuses.
