Governor Walker: “No reason” changes he’s championed to public education can’t be pushed nationwide.
"MADISON — Governor Scott Walker says in an opinion column that there’s “no reason” changes he championed to public education in Wisconsin can’t be pushed nationwide....."
Walker takes on higher education in Wisconsin "...."Within the higher ed universe, this is being seen as an extremely consequential, signal event," said Barmak Nassirian, director of federal relations and policy analysis at the American Association of State Colleges and Universities.
A companion effort would take from professors and staff certain decision-making powers about campus issues including curriculum, research and faculty status. Combined with ending tenure in state law, the higher education proposal would be the first of its kind in the country, Nassirian said.....
“........Under the new provisions, the administration could fire them “when such an action is deemed necessary due to a budget or program decision requiring program discontinuance, curtailment, modification or redirection.”......
“But Oregon’s Supreme Court ruled that the promises made to those retirees must be kept.”
That’s complete crap. Legislatures are sovereigns and can change laws, including contracts, passed by previous legislatures. There is no such thing as a plenary legislature that can pass a law that cannot be changed by a future legislature. It’s why we have elections. These elections seat legislators that can modify acts and laws passed by previous legislators. If that can’t happen, then we might as well not hold elections.
These black-robed fascists in Oregon need to be impeached and removed from the bench. They’re too stupid to understand the concept of legislative sovereignty.
