UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document Wang Appeals to Regents 1 BY CHRISTINA FANNING & RyAN KAMPHUIS Responding to the recommendation submitted to the Boardof Regents, Professor Wang appealed two weeks ago, citing. severalconcerns about the validity and accuracy of the claims agaiost him. For approximately the past year, many questions have beenraised as to whether or not Professor George Wang was obligated to teach the Sociology 101class assignment he last refusedon October II, 2004. The process the university andProfessor Wang have gone throughhas led the Faculty Rights andResponsibilities Committee (FRRC) to recommend a demotion forthe embattled professor, which wasaccepted by Chancellor Keating and submitted to the Board ofRegents. Professor Wang and the FRRC both identified four central issues involving his case. The- \ conclusions differed greatly. \ The first issue is whether or notProfessor Wang was hired to teach for both the sociology department and the weekend college. Professor Wang was hired in [994 to teach for the organizational studiesprogram, also known as theweekend college track for interdisciplinary studies. "They failed to recognize 1 'ashired in 1994 only to teach •pan of weekend college, not the whole weekend college;' WJlIlgsaid. "1 was only hired toteach specific courses in the "Eanizational studies program." The FRRC found in their hearingsthat Professor Wang was hired to teach, both sociology and weekendcollege courses, despite anyevidence presented that may have proven otherwise. _ "I never hhd a' duty to teach SOCiology lOJ for that program," saidWang. "To say that I'm hired to teach weekend college ISrnisleading because I'm only hired 10 teach specifically in the c'rriculum of that program."

Retro Credits Get Attention BY RYAN KAMPHUIS The Modern Languages retroactive credit policy conjured up several different stories and emotions in recent weeks. After the subject first appeared in Tbe Ranger News two weeks ago, several students and faculty have been talking about the policy. and expressing their opinions on it. Many students have applauded the coverage and highlighted the discriminatory nature. Others have expressed their desire to learn more about it because it is something that has affected a lot of students for many years. and not enough information is available. Students who have been affected the most by the retroactive credit policy have not come forward to date to tell their own stories. largely noting a fear of retaliation. Gorge Miramontes, a native Spanish speaker from Mexico said in arecent.interview that be agrees the policy does· not target only Spanish students, but applies to any of the three languages offered at UW-Parkside. He also noted that, because of the large Hispanic population at UW· Parkside, this policy does have a disproportionately large impact on that particular group. "The 'heritage' part would affect a lot of people - especially non-native speakers that do not even know [the language]," Miramontes said. "I know a lot of people, especially from the southwest, but also many other states. that have Hispanic last names yet have absolutely no background in speaking Spanish." The retroactive credit policy was originally developed to encourage U.S. high schools to provide quality education in a foreign language. The policy rewards students with retroactive credits at the university level after the student demonstrates the proficiencies learned at the high school level, either by a test or a grade obtained in the first university course taken in the language. continued on pg. 4 This Week's Foreign Film: The Story ofthe Weeping Camel PAGE 14 Thi 2 The Ranger News September 27, 200s --- Letter From The Editor I hear the suggestion that media is biased every now and then. 'The liberal media" is. commonly used phrase that stands out in my mind. One of my roommates told me I was working for a "liberal newspaper," And when I'was distributing papers last Tuesday, a gentleman refused to take the new issue because he said it was "Parkside Propaganda." I would like to thank these people in print for telling me what they think The Ranger News is, although they are dead wrong. Last October, we ran a story on President George W. Bush's speech in Milwaukee. The staff writer who covered it outlined Bush's plan and quoted the speech he gave. There was no second-guessing the president or concern on bow John Kerry might respond; it was just the facts of what Bush said at the event. To me, it seemed the article could have ended up on Bush's website or on one of his campaign flyers. But nobody called us a conservative news outlet. In March, we bad a staff member take a leave of absence from the newspaper to pursue the stud~nt government presidency. He led a student protest through the main concourse here at Parkside during that month, and the newspaper reported on it. Some called us bias because we were reporting on news a staff member of ours was creating, althougb that staff member had nothing to do with the reporting and writing of the story. If the other candidate made news like that, we certainly would have.reported on it. Which brings us to today. After last Thursday's gathering around Union Bridge to either protest abortion or protest the protesters, a lot of people asked me how The Ranger News was going to cover the story. It was disappointing, to say,the least. Questions like, "What side is the newspapergoing to take?" and suggestions such as, "You should make it against the 10-year-olds holding the signs," were flying at me left and right. It was as if they wanted the story to be biased or slanted in a certain direction, While there is a spot for opinions in the newspaper, news is what we provide. it is not our duty to represent a side, but to write a well-rounded story. . The difference is clear in this particular issue of The Ranger News. I'm extremely proud of the front-page story that covered last Thursday's happening-It takes no side, and there are equal quotes from as many perspectives as reasonably possible, Our op-ed section - a forum for opinions of all types - gives a different account on the events of last Thursday. We have an editorial contributed by August-Marie Wagner-Richardson, and Nicholas Michael Ravnikar shares his thoughts on the matter in his weekly editorial, "The Beat Box." Neither shares the same viewpoint, and if a student or faculty member presented an article in favor of the protesters' cause, we surely would have printed it also. We have a clear agenda to push here at The Ranger News: to find information and present it to the community, Nothing more, When our reporters cover a story, they don't let their personal opinions and feelings get involved, When we edit the stories, we questions ourselves on everything from word choices and quotes to whether or not another side needs to be included to make it the well-rounded article it needs to be. I'd like to see more students share their thoughts so that The Ranger News can represent more sides in the opinion section, The easiest way of doing that is by submitting about 100 words on any topic to rangernews@uwp.edu. We'll print it as long as it's not libelous. The other option is to submit an editorial of no more than 750 words on anything recent dealing with UW-Parkside, and if it is a reasonably good editorial, we'll give it a run. I'm also open to community members sharing their thoughts with me, even if they don't necessarily want it to end up in print. Indeed, 1am a student and I have a lot to learn. I appreciate any feedback d~O} I can get, whether it's related to my "Letters" or the newspaper in general. Let me ,.IV ~t:. know what you think.
