Here is why:
Campus sex assault reports dropped at UW's request AP - "MADISON — The University of Wisconsin requested that Gov. Scott Walker remove a requirement that all 26 campuses report allegations of sexual assaults to the state every year because it already submits similar information to the federal government, a UW spokesman said Friday.
The proposal to delete the annual reports to the state Department of Justice is among dozens of requirements that would be removed as part of Walker's plan to decouple the university from most state laws and state oversight. Though the budget proposal came out earlier this month, the sex assault request was explained in a summary released Thursday by the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau.
UW System spokesman Alex Hummel said Friday that the university requested the change because information given to the state is duplicative of data required to be reported to the U.S. Department of Education under federal law. The university also posts the information on its website....."
Camille Paglia had a very good article about this. I’ll have to see if I can find it.
She’s a non-PC lesbian, and except for the lesbian bit, everybody here would probably agree with her. And she’s a good writer.
Walker’s budget deletes requirement that UW campuses report sexual assaults. (Elimination of a duplicative process. See reply #1.)

And now we learn the rest of the story.
Another reason why FR is so valuable to get the full picture.
Thanks for posting fact the University requested ceasing duplicate reporting.
I can just imagine how the LA & NY Slimes will spin this...
Sounds like there a few unnecessary jobs, even before this, that the state can get rid of as the fed is already doing them.
It’s a 2.5% cut. If the University can’t absorb THAT, while the rest of us are hanging on by our friggin’ FINGERNAILS in this state, supporting THEM with our tax dollars...Eff them!
I Hope this is true....tha daily beast is where I get all my real authentic news.........not
