Wisconsin Lawmakers Vote To Expel Investigative Journalism Org From University Campus




Legislators in Wisconsin voted Wednesday to include a provision in the state's budget that would expel an independent and non-partisan investigative journalism group from the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

On a 12-4 vote, with Republicans in the majority, the Joint Finance Committee approved a provision barring the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism from occupying any facilities overseen by the University of Wisconsin's board of regents system and prohibiting university employees from working with the center.
