“A must-read for anyone interested in understanding the UW System’s establishment and maturation. It expertly paints the picture of the UW System that is born and evolves from spirited confluences of politics, leadership, values, economics, demographics, priorities, personalities, emotions, truths and exaggerations, and yet more politics.”—Noel Tomas Radomski, managing director, Wisconsin Center for the Advancement of Postsecondary Education
“A very original piece of work that not only captures the uniqueness of the UW System and its history but is laced with a literature review of how UW’s founding intersects with other system documentaries.”—Nancy Zimpher, Rockefeller Institute of Government
“Drawing on Brady’s own inside knowledge as the system’s former general counsel, A History of the University of Wisconsin System offers unique insights into the conflicts and accomplishments of the administrative and political elites who shaped the system.”—Chad Alan Goldberg, University of Wisconsin–Madison
