So we have a professor at University of Wisconsin-Whitewater offering students extra credit to attend Walker protests, and the chancellor of University of Wisconsin-Madison working against Walker too.

These are taxpayer funded schools.

Taxpayer-Funded U. Wisconsin Chancellor Spends Her Days Lobbying Alumni Against Scott Walker

Rebecca Blank, the taxpayer-funded chancellor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has sent a number of emails to alumni openly lobbying against a budget proposed by Republican Gov. Scott Walker that includes cuts to higher education.

A Feb. 18 email from Blank blatantly implores alumni to call state legislators to complain about the proposed education cuts.

“If you choose to contact your legislator on behalf of the university, I encourage you to thank them for engaging in an active discussion about the university budget, tell them you recognize that the state is facing a difficult budget situation and that the university must do its share along with other state agencies, but that a budget cut of the magnitude called for in the proposed budget is just too big and will have a significant negative impact on UW-Madison and its students,” Blank propagandizes in the email obtained by The Daily Caller.

“I encourage you to stay informed about the UW budget by visiting uwalumni.com/advocacy,” the chancellor’s email, entitled “This week’s conversation with alumni,” further urges.

Blank, who was hired in 2013, collects a base salary of $495,000, plus various perks and benefits…

A Feb. 5 email from Blank sternly rebukes Walker for his plan to reduce government spending.

“Governor Scott Walker has proposed cutting the University of Wisconsin System by $300 million over the next two years to help fill a state budget deficit,” she writes. “UW–Madison’s share of that cut is expected to be $57 million per year.”
