Valin Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 St. Paul Pioneer Press: Karen Herzog and Tom Kertscher Milwaukee Journal Sentinel 01/28/2015 Faculty and staff in the University of Wisconsin System should be "teaching more classes and doing more work," Gov. Scott Walker said during an interview Wednesday morning with a Milwaukee conservative radio talk show host. During back to back interviews with radio talk show hosts Charlie Sykes and Jay Weber, Walker discussed how a new arena for the Milwaukee Bucks would be funded, his preparations to run for president, and his state budget proposal that would cut $300 million cut in funding over two years for the UW System while granting new flexibilities in how the UW System does business. Sykes asked how listeners could be sure the proposed $300 million in budget cuts "won't damage the quality of education." Walker gave a lengthy answer, noting former Gov. James Doyle made similar size cuts to the UW System, though Doyle's cuts were not coupled with a tuition freeze. He said the UW would have to be "more effective, efficient." Walker then told Sykes: "I think you were right, your comments today on Right Wisconsin, that maybe it's time for faculty and staff to start thinking about teaching more classes and doing more work. And this authority frees up the UW administration to make those sorts of requests, which I think are needed not only here but across the country."
