" Jealous? Yeah, I am back at you. If you have not figured out who I am talking about, it is Kember. Do you have any idea what his secretary started at? An application process that had to accept applicants and testing during three sessions as there were so many. More to the point, Do you know what Regent 'On Too Many Boards' paid his secretary for the last few years in his private sector job. A secretary that had a direct effect on the 'profit' of his Firm and his pocket book. Now there is a term you do not hear very often, 'profit'. Jealous?, my rear end! It goes on from top to bottom. Got a lot more. Talk to me real nice and I will tell you. Hypocrites. "

" Look, I am still wondering why UWL paid for years for a 'Czar of Festivities' easily 6 figures. When you add in pay/benfits/equipment/overhead/staff? There is alot that UWL and the Tribune do not what to talk about. Too bad!!!! There are alot of secrets over there. That is not counting on Stadiums that were supposed to be private donation financed. Get out your checkbooks once more. Oh yeah, they are whacking people who visit our town. Just like they are whacking the students that have not arrived and have no voice whatsoever. Just like alllowing studnets with subpar grades, as there parent has served on influential UWL Boards. There are alot of secrets over there. "

" Legislators smarmy sick pay money was a great embarrassment for them. Although like almost all red face times, wait long enough and it will in fact go away. Kapanke when asked about it stated he would give all funds back. Cannot wait to ak him if this was completed? Onalaska had made promises that on the same lines, had not idea how to fund them, and lied to their taxpayers. Telling them they would now save them, 20% by switching them over to annuities. Never telling taxpayers it will now 'front load' at $1.3 million starting this year, and at todays rates. Holmen Schools has basically the same sick/post health benefit game. Although Holmen along with many others when pressed out of embarrassment will call it something else. All the while the benefit is extinct in the private worker sector. "

" LaCrosse Roofer--audit reveals average UW faculty member had a benefit of $222,000 by accumulating sick leave! Story is hidden on pg B-4 lax trib sat 12/08/07. The tribune editors were right on top of this story when it involved legislators and rightfully so, but this stinks. Just another case of striving to find the truth and SELECTIVELY print it! "

" $7,188 tuition is no bargain for what the students are really getting for their money; it's more efficient (and about as good) to just require public universities to put all their courses on the Internet--just charge a thousand bucks for a degree once all tests have been passed.

" Haven't prospective student complaints about the increasing inability to afford college tution (and other costs) been part of the news for at least the last several years? : : : After this increase goes into effect, it will be interesting to see what the numbers admitted actually are, dontcha think?

" What a surprise! Also in todays trib but conveniantly placed in a remote location, was a story about how the regents approved a new sick leave policy for professors. What we never saw in previous trib coverage was that the average faculty member had accumulated $220,000 in this faulty scheme .Are these the same poor downtrodden faculty members who are paid too little? Come on trib lets hear the story. "

" Apparently UW-M people weren't paying attention! Just have the existing students vote on an increase for everyone else but them. It works! "

" They call this news. Along with the Tribune Editorial Board 'they' have been pounding this at us like a stake for quite some time. Shields-"amazing how fast...delegation and community came together." Ludwig-"pleased with the large amount of student", "formulated in an administrative vacuum.” Teamwork? Watered down, and charging students that were not able to vote on the tuition raise. Talk about lack of representation. My Dad told me, in negotiations if you want $20 you ask for $40. He also had another term, 'BS'! This "Teamwork" was a win for nobody except Huebsch who held them somewhat close to the ground with their clamouring once more for more funds. "Remain competitive", 2/3rds are turned away?
