Perhaps you don't realize it but the University of Wisconsin-Madison' basic web address is wisc.edu. That is not the basic address included in your link, hence that quote isn't even on UW-Madison's website.

I'm sure there are many things we agree on, but at this point you can't even take a compliment without being snarky.
At either end of the spectrum there is humbleness and arrogance. Which do you think you are?
As for the grades being tied to race, I posted several links showing they absolutely are, yet here you are denying any proof has been posted.
See, that's why I was amazed that we agreed; It's such a rare thing!
My apologies, you misread my post. I had no intention of it sounding snarky to you.

Are you claiming that UW-Madison is not part of the University of Wisconsin system?
Sorry, but when was the last time you were in a college classroom?
Grades are not being awarded based upon race. I know you want to be outraged, but you'll have to find something else to accomplish this, preferably something real.
When was the last time you actually took the time to comprehend what was said?
Here, let's revisit the actual post:
Quote:
A new policy at the University of Wisconsin - Madison states that good grades should be distributed equally among students of different races.
The policy, named the “Framework for Diversity and Inclusive Excellence,” calls for “proportional participation of historically underrepresented racial-ethnic groups at all levels of an institution, including high status special programs, high-demand majors, and in the distribution of grades.”
"Under the ‘equity’ policy, it seems that some of those who want to study this field would be told that they’ll have to choose another major because computer science already has “enough” students from their ‘difference’ group," UW - Madison professor W. Lee Hansen wrote about his concerns with the policy in a piece published Wednesday.

You're right but the UW system encompasses all the universities under it.
Madison is one of their campuses but is part of the UW System.
The UW System produces guidelines and policies followed by all their campuses.

Once again . . . No, it's not on the UW-Madison website.
