We have disagreed with ASM guru Jeff Pertl on everything from segregated fees to tuition increases to open-meetings requirements.

However, we do share the same school — UW-Madison — and that is reason enough to support Pertl’s candidacy for chair of United Council. Too often, United Council has been tilted towards the interests of Wisconsin’s smaller schools (some UC officials even opposed the Madison Initiative). An alum from Wisconsin’s flagship school, especially one as professional and accessible as Pertl, would be a welcome ally for all Wisconsin students — even The Badger Herald.
