Greatly appreciated the chance to dig into the leaked SCOTUS draft in
#UWJ618
. It was so important to debrief this historical moment in a classroom setting while also critically looking at how the media is covering the leak and what this could mean for midterms. Thanks,
@prowag
!
Students had tons of great questions about the SCOTUS leaked draft decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Was proud of their engagement and their ability to use course concepts as frameworks for thinking through what is happening and why.

How
@UWSystem
's president reacted to
@chronicle
's "Restructuring a University" report: “While I am by no means suggesting that any of our universities face such a severe crisis, there are some observations and other takeaways in the report that resonated with me,” Rothman wrote.
SCOOP: Facing budget shortfalls,
@UWSystem
President Jay Rothman privately suggested chancellors ‘shift away’ from liberal arts programs at low-income campuses.

A statue of the mascot was recently decapitated, and the team wants the duck's head back.

At

@ScottWalker
encouraged students to take a free speech survey that was supposed to be released to all UW System campuses today. The survey has raised questions from chancellors and contributed to an interim chancellor’s resignation.

“Going back to masking is not a step that many of us wanted to take, but it is important to protect the health of those on our campus and in our community,” a message from the chancellor’s office said.

The mask mandate marks the first major change in UW-Madison's fall plans and comes in response to a concerning increase in COVID-19 cases in recent weeks.

Case surges are not just an issue for rural WI. Dane County announced about 150 cases of omicron today — up from 3 first identified last Thursday. One hospital CEO said they are “holding their breath” and bracing for the impacts of omicron and holidays.

In Wisconsin, where about 1 in 5 children are food insecure, the free meals program gained approval from legislators and schools across the state.
But the waiver providing free meals expired June 30, and free meals legislation at the state and federal level has stalled.
