MILWAUKEE - University of Wisconsin professors and their supporters made it clear to UW regents meeting in Milwaukee that a proposed tenure policy under consideration would still leave them vulnerable to layoffs or termination.
Some professors stood at the back of the regents meeting at UW-Milwaukee and held signs urging regents to protect tenure. Demonstrators put blue tape over their mouths to show they could be silenced without tenure protection. Dozens of other supporters in the audience offered sustained applause when UW-Madison professor David Vanness told Education Committee members that the "whole world is watching" what happens in Wisconsin in regard to tenure.
