University of Wisconsin-Madison


Self Description

April 2002: "Founded in 1848, the university is a public, land-grant institution that provides on a single campus a complete spectrum of liberal arts studies, professional programs and student activities. UW-Madison's academic reputation has been rated among the top 10 in many areas of study since 1910." http://www.chancellor.wisc.edu/view.html?get=welcome

Third-Party Descriptions

July 2009: "Many schools, of course, have long used corporate partnerships to finance buildings and other facilities. From Fargo, N.D., to Worchester, Mass., banks and other companies have bought the naming rights to public libraries and high school football fields. The University of Wisconsin at Madison offers doctors and other health-care professionals an online continuing-education course on menstrual disorders that is funded by the pharmaceutical giant Bayer. While the class's title doesn't carry Bayer's name, the company's drugs are mentioned in the course, and the school fully acknowledges the arrangement in course materials."

Apr 11, 2007 Appeals Court Misfired in Hack-Counterhack Dispute

QUOTE: Last week's decision by the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in U.S. v. Heckenkamp is a mixed bag. It assures us that a college student's dorm room computer is protected by the Fourth Amendment, but says warrantless, and perhaps even suspicionless, searches of those computers can be justified by a university's "special needs." .... But how much protection do we really have from random searches if the special-needs exception applies?

QUOTE: the case raises questions about academic freedom: Are there limits to what can be taught, and if so, who decides them? Are certain views indicative of incompetence...or does such criticism lead to censorship?

Aug 04, 2002 The Baby Bias
