Thank you to everyone who has signed the petition so far. I’m so encouraged by the response. 

If you can, please share the petition.

We're doing something important and this petition makes sense.

In contrast, please check out this information from the University’s own communication.

“The University of Wisconsin Police Department will provide increased on-site presence …”

I’m wondering How many good ideas require additional police.

Here’s the real Faustian bargain, though.

“A portion of the revenue from alcohol sales will provide financial support for existing and future campus-led efforts to

promote student wellness and to encourage responsible behavior around the use of alcohol, such as offering alcohol-free programming for students and supporting students experiencing challenges related to high-risk behaviors.”

Let’s review the circular logic here. The UW-Madison is feeding a problem so that they can divert a portion of the money they make from feeding the problem to help deal with the problem they’re feeding.

Think about that. It’s like starting a house on fire so that you can sell roasted marshmallows to buy fire extinguishers.

Thanks again,

Tim
