	Exporting The Wisconsin Idea - British Educators Study UW for Role Model of the Future \| WTN
		At a time when many Wisconsin leaders are studying how to import ideas from other cities and regions, it is ironic that across the Atlantic, the British are faced with the same challenges and have turned to Wisconsin to export an idea - our education system.
		The University of Wisconsin (UW) is a unique example of merging rival universities under one umbrella and dictating centrally what each college in the statewide system can teach and research, and with what level of funding.
		And although it may be surprising to British observers that such a radical idea is coming out of the sticks of the American Midwest, it is typical of Wisconsin.

		No one can believe the great University of Wisconsin, our finest institution and the glue holding this state together, is in real danger of becoming a second-tier university.
		The University of Wisconsin, known throughout the world for research, innovation, academic freedom and a world view of education, was described in the 1919 autobiography of Bob La Follette, former governor and U.S. senator.
		This is a sensible conclusion, but it further isolates the university from the power brokers residing in the Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce building - where the ideas are hatched for special interest legislation and candidates are selected, trained and funded.
