A trio of high-profile UW-Madison professors went public Wednesday with concerns about President Barack Obama's planned Thursday campaign rally, saying students who want to attend are unfairly being required to supply a phone number and email address to the campaign, even having to click "I'm In" to get a free ticket at the campaign's website.

"If you want to go to this hugely important and interesting event you have to register with the campaign," said political science professor Donald Downs. "That raises questions."

College Republicans.....be alert to this tactic at the next event held on a campus

[Be Careful]

Suppression of participation by those that do not have an ID, telephone, email or computer/computer access?

So what stops them from providing “buckofama@hotmail.com” and 867-5309?

University staffers in buildings shut down by Thursday's event were encouraged by administrators to take a vacation or personal day, rearrange their hours before and after Thursday to make up for lost hours or work from home or a different location, Sweeney said.

Students whose classes have been canceled should formally demand a refund for that fraction of the semester. Being used as a political prop shouldn't count as an act of God for class cancellation.

Great point.........

Romney should counter on all college campuses, demanding the same accommodation, by holding a Job Fair

I wonder how many ‘students’ have donated money without their knowledge?

You know, that’s an excellent idea.

[Be Careful]
