Quote: the University of Wisconsin-Madison ... faculty has just adopted a new charter advocating “proportional participation of historically underrepresented racial-ethnic groups at all levels” including “the distribution of grades.”

According to the National Review, “Earlier this year, the University of Wisconsin–Madison faculty senate adopted a new Framework for Diversity and Inclusive Excellence, which, according to the campus’s Board of Regents, “places the mission of diversity at the center of institutional life so that it becomes a core organizing principle.”

“To achieve the plan’s vague aims, the Ad Hoc Diversity Planning Committee formulated five goals and thirty detailed recommendations. Unbeknownst to faculty senators, these goals and recommendations are based on the “Inclusive Excellence” framework adopted earlier by the Board of Regents which includes eight essential “working definitions,” among them: “compositional diversity,” “critical mass,” “inclusion,” “equity mindedness,” “deficit-mindedness,” “representational equity,” and “excellence.”

At first I thought, "Oh good, I got out of there at about the right time." But after doing one minute of research, it seems like this is being blown a bit out of proportion.

A lot of dumb mumbo-jumbo here, but it doesn't look like there will be a distribution of grades based on race.

Good response, let's hope they live up to it.

But why should the general taxpayers of WI be saddled w/ excessive bills to meet the needs of a few students...of whom many will provide zero or less than zero contributions to the state?

I'll be heading up to UW-Madison on Sunday. At least beer is good.

I suggest you hit up Memorial Union Terrace if you can handle the hipster crowd.

Know all about it. This is my third summer heading up there to complete my studies. The scenery at the Union is nice and the Spotted Cow is cold. Overall, I like Madison, I just don't get into all the politcal crap when I'm up there.

Yea, Madison is liberal as heck, but I find it better to sit back, drink good cold beer, and admire the scenery. We usually head over to Milwaukee for a Brewers game as well. Nice ballpark with good tailgating.

You might be just a tad liberal yourself.

The stuff that happens in this town and this insitution is unthinkable almost everywhere else in the country. Remember, this is also ground zero for the white privilege movement.

F the beer. I wouldn't spend one cent in that radical town.

Nah, no liberal here. Never been called that in my life. lol

Only reason I'm heading up there is to finish my third degree which work is paying for. Way I figure, cool weather, college girls, cold beer, free degree. I'll take it.

The beer is just a nice perk, I'm more concerned with the free degree. BTW, Madison is just a typical liberal college town. Overall, Wisconsin is fairly conservative. Scott Walker ring a bell?

I'm sorry man, but I am starting to think you are just a little bit liberal. Not full blown, but left of center. There is no excuse for what goes on in Madison and you can find good beer elsewhere.

Stop trying to deny it, VA49er. oklalittledixie, the arbiter of all things liberal, has declared you to be one of them. There's no coming back from that. Expect to receive your "Hillary 2016" t-shirt in the next two to five weeks. By bicycle messenger, of course.

It's a good thing he didn't declare you a progressive--then you would have had to wear a Warren shirt.

But why should the general taxpayers of WI be saddled w/ excessive bills to meet the needs of a few students...of whom many will provide zero or less than zero contributions to the state?

With the demise of college debate standards I don't think any such 'framework" can lead to good...

Your trolling is getting extremely mundane and annoying. I'm surprised you haven't gotten the permanent boot from here yet.
