Unions Subdued, Scott Walker Turns to Tenure at Wisconsin Colleges

"...During a confusing and often tense meeting Thursday at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, a committee of the UW System Board of Regents recommended the full board support moving tenure policy from state law into board policy. A GOP plan by the Legislature's budget-writing Joint Finance Committee took tenure out of the law, as proposed by Gov. Scott Walker...."

Well those ‘teachers’ are presented the way most should be. Silently, untenured, with tape on their mouths. The world would be a better place.

[dp0622]

instead of tape can we glue their mouths shut.

who the heck originally thought of tenure anyway?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Tenure = Tyranny

Tenure = Protects & Rewards Incompetence

I like the slashing, but I sure don't like the the Patriot Act support. I was in the Walker camp until that came down today. And Cruz with his H1B support - low-cost STEM workers to compete with and drive down wages - is no better. Looking more carefully at Paul, who has many flaws but who is at least consistent...

[Cincinatus' Wife]

This really isn’t the place to drop a Rand Paul ad.

Post your own thread and tout him.

This really is bad form.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Yeah, consistently bad and crazy. But I guess if you’re a pothead he looks pretty good.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Follow the money. It seems that the Left wants disclaimers on For Profit Schools that take federal money but I ask, would they do the same?

Education is big business and it needs sorting out.

[Lexinom]

Sorry? I'm not advertising for anyone and Paul is far down my list (behind Walker and Cruz).

I'm very disappointed with Walker, along with just about everyone else. I was defending him against Cruz supporters up to this point... Sure hope he can somehow clarify his statement about the Patriot act.

[Lexinom]

Nope, not a pothead. Just looking for a decent candidate...

[2ndDivisionVet]

And you think that Ron Paul, Jr. is that person? Based on what?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

So, you’ve decided to come on the thread and distract from the information that I’m trying to give out, to campaign for another candidate?

[2ndDivisionVet]

So Walkerite threads are now closed, like certain of the religion threads, to any "negative" comments from any outside your cult group? I did not realize that. Is that how you got that thread pulled earlier today about the WEDC?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Posts like yours reek of forum disruption - divide and conquer tactics.

You say you’re shopping around for a candidate?

Then why not read more and comment less until you sort that out.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

You’re a known quantity.

Get over yourself.

[2ndDivisionVet]

That’s the pot calling the kettle black. Are you conflicted, now that Rick Perry is back in the race?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I’ve never asked to have, or been involved with, having any thread pulled.

You really are a student of Alinsky.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

No conflict.

Scott Walker wasn’t running in 2012.

Rick Perry has a lot to offer (and has given Texas a huge leg up) and I wish him a great campaign. The nation would be a different place today if Perry had been elected.

Scott Walker is the best candidate for 2016.

[garjog]

Love it. What other pol would take on these two groups?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I don’t go on Cruz threads (or FReepmail) to insult and disrupt.
