A Wisconsin story that serves as a national warning UW Struggle provides an on-the-ground view of the smoldering attack on public higher education in Wisconsin. Chuck Rybak, who works in the University of Wisconsin System, provides important glimpses into the personal lives of those affected, the dismantling of tenure protections, the diminishment of shared governance, and how faculty remain the scapegoat for all of the university's problems. This is a chronicle of failed leadership and what actions, if any, can protect this vital American institution.
