I'm sure many readers reacted with disbelief to the decision of UW-Madison's Music School to axe the Choral Union, the 130-year-old partnership of students, alumni and community members, ostensibly to maximize "opportunities for UW students."
It's amazing how quickly UW-Madison administrators wrap themselves in the mantle of the Wisconsin Idea when circumstances suit them (i.e., when funding is threatened) but have no hesitation in discarding a program that perfectly exemplifies that idea. This decision demonstrates once again that UW-Madison, despite its pious pronouncements about serving all the citizens of the state, is in fact elitist and short-sighted.
I graduated from UW-Madison (twice) but long ago stopped supporting it financially precisely because of its habit of arrogance and hypocrisy, once again blatantly on display in its treatment of the Choral Union.
