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.

Your comment may be deleted if it is inappropriately off topic or promotional or if it is unnecessarily rude or contains personal attacks. We may delete comments for other reasons as well. Just keep it simple and focus on your points as respectfully as possible.

We allow and encourage comments employing satire, wit and irony to make points. Do not flag comments just because you disagree.

Before flagging a comment you think is offensive, consider your time might be better spent rebutting it than censoring it.
