  38. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The University of Wisconsin men’s basketball program was one of six (BYU UVA, Marquette, Purdue, UNC, Stanford) Power 5 programs that hadn’t added a player from the transfer portal. That changed with the <a href="https://uwbadgers.com/news/2024/4/28/mens-basketball-wisconsin-adds-transfer-camren-hunter.aspx">commitment</a> from University of Central Arkansas guard Camren Hunter Sunday.</span></p>
  39. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">UW was quick to act on the third-year guard, pulling him onto campus for an official visit merely days after reaching out and earning his commitment to </span><a href="https://x.com/DushawnLondon1/status/1783525628777566380"><span style="font-weight: 400;">beat out</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Saint Louis, Butler — which he briefly intended to play for as a transfer last offseason — Florida State and West Virginia.</span></p>
  40. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hunter is the first of what’s likely to be many incoming transfers for a Badgers team with plenty of holes to fill.</span></p>
  41. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Standing at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, Hunter boasts a large frame that Wisconsin didn’t have in the backcourt last season. He spent his first two seasons at Central Arkansas, earning Atlantic Sun Conference </span><a href="https://ucasports.com/news/2022/3/1/mens-basketball-hunter-named-asuns-top-freshman.aspx"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Freshman of the Year</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> honors in 2021-22 and making the </span><a href="https://ucasports.com/news/2023/2/27/mens-basketball-hunter-named-to-all-asun-team.aspx"><span style="font-weight: 400;">All-ASUN Third Team</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in 2022-23 on 16.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.5 steals per game.</span></p>
  42. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But, Hunter hasn’t taken the floor since his All-Conference campaign — sitting out after breaking his foot prior to the start of the season. He has two years of eligibility left. </span></p>
  43. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hunter is a logical addition in the wake of Chucky Hepburn’s departure — joining AJ Storr, Connor Essegian and Gus Yalden as scholarship players who have left the program this offseason — as a player who can defend at a high level, play make and score.</span></p>

  70. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hunter took a massive step forward as a shooter in 2022-23, jumping up to 31.1 percent (5.4 attempts per game) from 25.0 percent on deep balls, and was especially impressive in catch-and-shoot scenarios.</span></p>
  71. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ideally, the lefty could fill both guard positions, with the ability to orchestrate and facilitate within head coach Greg Gard’s offense and slide to an off-ball role when Kamari McGee or Daniel Freitag are on the floor. Hunter’s versatility expands past position — possessing a true three-level scoring capability, including a decent post-up game, where he can take advantage of smaller defenders.</span></p>
  72. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Though he’s naturally a one — where he’ll likely see plenty of action in 2024-25 — Hunter’s ability to play multiple positions is massive considering the Badgers’ backcourt depth.</span></p>
  73. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hunter is a bit unorthodox with the ball in his hand, utilizing quick changes of pace and a herky jerky rhythm to get by defenders and to the rim. He’s a strong finisher through contact and looks to push the pace in transition, something UW did more of last season.</span></p>
  74. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He’ll likely need to improve finishing with his off-hand, and though it’s unclear how he’ll take to Big Ten basketball, Hunter’s all-around game fits what Gard wants to do on both ends of the floor and should be enough to have a legitimate chance at the Badgers starting point guard role in the fall.</span></p>

  100. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The University of Wisconsin women’s tennis program capped off the regular season with a 4–1 win against Rutgers University and left fans at the edge of their seats during a 4–3 loss against the University of Maryland during the weekend of April 20. UW played away at both of these matches — having left the Nielsen Tennis Center in high spirits after sweeping Michigan State University 4–0 April 13.</span></p>
  101. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These final regular season results secured a double bye for the Badgers in the </span><a href="https://bigten.org/wten/standings/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Big Ten Tournament</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> as the No. 4 seed, hosted by the University of Michigan. After besting the University of Illinois April 26, they fell to the University of Michigan, the team that eventually went on to the <a href="https://bigten.org/wten/article/blt0c0e8923033edcbf/">clinch</a> the tournament title.</span></p>
  102. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Badgers continued their Big Ten success this season — finishing with the same 8-3 record as they did last season — having defeated all three prospective Big Ten Tournament opponents during the regular season.</span></p>
  103. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As even more gameplay to look forward to, the NCAA Tournament team bracket will be selected April 29, with the singles and doubles brackets being selected April 30.</span></p>
  104. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the most recent </span><a href="https://colleges.wearecollegetennis.com/rankings?gender=F&amp;divisionType=DIV1&amp;matchFormat=TEAM&amp;date=2024-04-23"><span style="font-weight: 400;">rankings</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> by the NCAA committee, published April 23, the Badgers were ranked as the 33rd best Division 1 program in the country with an impressive 16-4 record.</span></p>
  105. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">UW is also making waves in the </span><a href="https://colleges.wearecollegetennis.com/rankings?gender=F&amp;divisionType=DIV1&amp;matchFormat=SINGLES&amp;date=2024-04-16"><span style="font-weight: 400;">individual rankings</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, as sophomore Maria Sholokhova was ranked at No. 83 in the singles rankings, with a 26-10 record.</span></p>
  106. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Looking back at this past </span><a href="https://uwbadgers.com/sports/womens-tennis/schedule"><span style="font-weight: 400;">season</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, the Badgers held one of the most impressive home records in the country, going 10-1 this season, with a strong win over the No. 38 ranked Fighting Illini. The Badgers also found success when traveling to face their opponents, finishing 6-3 away and 2-2 in neutral sites.</span></p>
  107. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As a team, UW garnered a quality amount of success this season, some of which can be attributed to breakout freshman Ellison Reynoldson. The Camden, Tennessee, </span><a href="https://uwbadgers.com/sports/womens-tennis/roster/ellison-reynoldson/12133"><span style="font-weight: 400;">native</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> finished this season 5-1 in singles play as well as 5-5 in doubles play.</span></p>

  134. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sholokhova was a winner on the court this season as well — finishing at 17-4 in singles and 9-4 in doubles. She managed to improve on her dominant </span><a href="https://uwbadgers.com/sports/womens-tennis/roster/maria-sholokhova/12131"><span style="font-weight: 400;">freshman</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> season and 14-8 singles record that saw her named to the All-Big Ten team.</span></p>
  135. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sholokhova finished the season strong, ending with a three-match doubles win streak and has gone 15-1 (one unfinished) in her last 17 singles matches, with 12 of them coming in straight sets. She also racked up wins against ranked opponents in Selma Cadar and Justine Leong from the Terrapins and Northwestern University, respectively.</span></p>
  136. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Graduate student Rosie Garcia Gross brought the experience to the squad, having <a href="https://uwbadgers.com/sports/womens-tennis/roster/rosie-garcia-gross/12146">transferred</a> from Georgia Tech this past season after finishing 20-14 in singles and 12-10 in doubles. This season as a Badger, the New York-native dominated both singles and doubles play —finishing 9-2 in singles and 14-1 in doubles. Garcia Gross ended with a 12-1 combined record in conference play, her only loss coming in doubles against the Fighting Illini.</span></p>
  137. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Garcia Gross wasn’t the only graduate student to fight for great results this season. Xinyu Cai entered her fifth year playing for the Badgers coming off of being named the <a href="https://uwbadgers.com/sports/womens-tennis/roster/xinyu-cai/12308">ITA Midwest Region Most Improved Senior</a> last season. This season, Cai finished 12-4 in singles play and 9-5 in doubles play — combining for a 9-6 conference record.</span></p>
  138. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Last season, Cai and then-junior Alina Mukhortova finished the season at No. 86 in the </span><a href="https://colleges.wearecollegetennis.com/rankings?gender=F&amp;divisionType=DIV1&amp;matchFormat=DOUBLES&amp;date=2023-05-31"><span style="font-weight: 400;">ITA doubles rankings</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
  139. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mukhortova — like many other Badgers on the team — posted </span><a href="https://uwbadgers.com/sports/womens-tennis/stats/2023-24"><span style="font-weight: 400;">dominant numbers</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> this season in both doubles and singles, finishing with a combined record of 18-10 and a conference record of 8-4.</span></p>
  140. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mukhortova won both her matches against ranked opponents this season, first against No. 26 Cate Broerman and Hope Moulin from James Madison University in the first match of the regular season and against No. 61 Minorka Miranda and Maria Budin from the Terrapins in the final match of the regular season.</span></p>
  141. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Head coach Kelcy McKenna entered the 2023-24 season as her </span><a href="https://uwbadgers.com/sports/womens-tennis/roster/coaches/kelcy-mckenna/2190"><span style="font-weight: 400;">eighth</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in charge of the Badgers and she has worked continuously to turn the program around from 4-16 in 2016 to 17-5 this season. Under her leadership, UW won their first NCAA Tournament match since 2002 and at one point were ranked No. 11 in the team rankings during the 2022-23 season.</span></p>
  142. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Excluding the 2019-20 season, which was canceled to the COVID-19 pandemic, McKenna and her staff have guided the Badgers to four consecutive seasons ranked inside the top-50 and this season will be the third consecutive year finishing inside the top-3 in the Big Ten standings — including a joint win in 2021-22.</span></p>
  143. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Badgers have a bright outlook for their future. With a squad full of promising talent and experienced leadership, UW is sure to build off of past success and continue to bring home results for Badger fans around campus and the country.</span></p>

  228. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In January, Wisconsin reached historic highs for the number of people employed in non-farm and private jobs, with the state’s unemployment rate remaining low at 3.2% — 0.5% below the national unemployment rate. This follows a broad pattern of increasing employment gains in the U.S. following a surge in pandemic-related joblessness, according to the </span><a href="https://www.cbpp.org/research/economy/tracking-the-recovery-from-the-pandemic-recession#stronger_GDP_growth"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Center on Budget and Policy Priorities</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
  229. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite these gains, over half of recent college graduates are still underemployed, according to a February 2024 report from </span><a href="https://stradaeducation.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Talent-Disrupted-Exec-Summary.pdf"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Strada Education Foundation</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
  230. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Graduates in degrees that utilize a substantial amount of quantitative reasoning experience the lowest unemployment rates out of college, less than 37%, compared to a 57% or higher unemployment rate for recent graduates with degrees in public safety and security, recreation and wellness studies or general business fields, according to the report.</span></p>
  231. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite the relatively lower unemployment levels for recent graduates in quantitative fields, it has become more difficult for recent graduates to find jobs in the tech industry over the past two years, former president of the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wisconsin Association of Colleges and Employers</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Liz Julian said.</span></p>
  232. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There have been some layoffs that have unfortunately been very tech heavy, and so that put more people into the market,&#8221; Julian said. &#8220;I think there&#8217;s still plenty of roles. It&#8217;s just a little more competitive than it was two to three years ago because of saturation and an increased number of applicants.”</span></p>
  233. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Conversely, nursing and healthcare-adjacent fields and education have high employment demands in the state, and students applying into those fields can expect a much less difficult job search, Julian said.</span></p>
  234. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Regardless of what sector a student plans to enter into after graduation, attaining field-specific work experience while still in college has powerful effects on their matriculation into their workforce, according to a 2016</span><a href="https://naceweb.org/job-market/internships/paid-interns-co-ops-see-greater-offer-rates-and-salary-offers-than-their-unpaid-classmates/"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> National Association of Colleges and Employers report</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Students who indicated they would be graduating in the 2014-2015 school year who worked paid internships or co-ops for private, for-profit companies had a job offer rate of 72.2%. For students working unpaid internships or co-ops for private, for-profit companies the rate fell to 43.9% and dipped to just 36.5% for students who had no internship or co-op experience.</span></p>

  257. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Without prior work experience, landing a career job is more difficult, forcing some recent graduates to take jobs that don’t utilize the skills acquired in their degree, and the longer they go without finding degree-specific employment, the less appealing they are to employers in that field, Julian said.</span></p>
  258. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to University of Wisconsin educational policy studies PhD student Kyoungjin Jang-Tucci, connections also play an important role in landing field-specific work experience.</span></p>
  259. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There is much evidence about how a student&#8217;s network positively influences their job, post-graduate outcomes — especially how soon they get a job and so on,&#8221; </span>Jang-Tucci said. &#8220;So networking is very important.”</p>
  260. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jang-Tucci said since networking frequently starts with family, the better situated a family is economically and socially, the more likely they are to be able to leverage connections and procure internship and job opportunities, leaving students from low income households at a disadvantage.</span></p>
  261. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But, the job placement resources available to all students on campus should not be overlooked, Julian said. Julian recommends going to job fairs, using campus career services and reaching out to guest speakers in class to build a network.</span></p>
  262. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Currently, the median lifetime return from a bachelor’s degree at UW is $760,000 for Wisconsin residents relative to a high school diploma, according to a </span><a href="https://crowe.wisc.edu/2024/04/03/the-return-to-a-bachelors-degree-from-uw-madison/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">white paper report</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from the Center for Research on the Wisconsin Economy, and though an unresponsive job market can tempt questions about the value of a UW degree, in the long run, it is almost always worthwhile, Julian said.</span></p>
  263. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I do think it is still worth it,&#8221; Julian said. &#8220;And if you don&#8217;t have an end goal then maybe it isn&#8217;t, but those who do graduate absolutely earn more than those who don&#8217;t. So I think that&#8217;s a big part of it. People feel like ‘if I do this, then X will happen.’ And sometimes it&#8217;s not as linear as that.”</span></p>
  264. <p>In a recent <a href="https://badgerherald.com/news/campus/2024/04/23/mnookin-talks-campus-affinity-spaces-protests-student-government-at-student-media-event/">media roundtable</a> with campus news organizations, UW Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin reaffirmed UW&#8217;s commitment to supporting students in their transition out of the classroom and into the workforce.</p>
  265. <p>Mnookin emphasized investments in SuccessWorks — the College of Letters and Sciences&#8217; center for career and professional development — and the presence of job-focused opportunities within all of UW&#8217;s schools.</p>
  266. <p>The university hopes to improve career enhancing opportunities for students, but the proportion of gainfully employed students and recent graduates remains high, Mnookin said.</p>
  267. <p>&#8220;I do think that the proportion of our students who are gainfully employed in areas connected to what they&#8217;re hoping to do — is it absolutely every student, no — we are a big, large place and there&#8217;s always going to be exceptions, but we are quite strong,&#8221; Mnookin said. &#8220;And it&#8217;s important that we continue to look at that and continue to invest in that.&#8221;</p>

  293. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Institute for Citizens and Scholars — a nonprofit dedicated to cultivating networks that develop young people as effective citizens — convened the consortium.

  294. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Institute for Citizens and Scholars  President Raj Vinnatoka said in an email statement to The Badger Herald that university leaders participating in the consortium are initiating numerous efforts to directly engage students, including at UW.</span></p>
  295. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Participants in this consortium believe it is higher education’s responsibility to provide students with critical civic skills, Vinnakota said.</span></p>
  296. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Institute works to uphold education as a public good in order to ensure young people are ready to enter the public sphere and become effective leaders, Vinnakota said.</span></p>
  297. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“In an increasingly polarized society, many students are encountering diversity for the first time on a tangible, personal, daily basis,” Vinnakota said. “It&#8217;s a critical time when they need to develop the skills, habits, practices, and norms to live in a multicultural and interconnected democracy.”</span></p>
  298. <p><a href="https://discussion.education.wisc.edu/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Discussion Project,</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> which was founded in 2017 to advance this goal at UW, seeks to engage students in productive dialogue that exposes them to different perspectives.</span></p>

  325. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Discussion Project Program Director Lynn Glueck said it&#8217;s mission is to help instructors facilitate high-quality classroom discussion to improve student engagement.</span></p>
  326. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As part of the Mnookin’s work with College Presidents for Civic Preparedness, The Discussion Project has begun Deliberation Dinners, where students will have the opportunity to engage in constructive discourse along with peers coming from diverse backgrounds.</span></p>
  327. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s not a debate, it&#8217;s really a discussion where you&#8217;re inquiring into ideas and asking, &#8216;Here&#8217;s this issue, but what should we do?&#8217;” Glueck said. “The point isn&#8217;t to come to a consensus on what to do, it&#8217;s to just dig in and think about all of the options, weigh them, and learn together.”</span></p>
  328. <p>UW Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Lori Reesor <a href="https://badgerherald.com/news/campus/2024/04/23/mnookin-talks-campus-affinity-spaces-protests-student-government-at-student-media-event/">said</a> April 23 that in regards to protests and demonstrations, the fall 2024 semester will be &#8220;absolutely very busy.&#8221;</p>
  329. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Vinnatoka said the shared set of civic commitments created by the Insitute provide guidance to university leaders on valuing free expression — including ideas that some people may consider offensive or wrong. Vinnatoka said these principles also work to ensure free expression is not an open license for speech that is intentionally abusive, harassing, discriminatory or harmful to others.</span></p>
  330. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It does so by prioritizing free inquiry, subjecting views to the scrutiny of others, creating an argument, and a base of evidence with the power to persuade,&#8221; Vinnatoka said. &#8220;That’s what free inquiry does – elevate a speech right into a civic discipline.&#8221;</span></p>

  385. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Longer days, warmer weather — hopefully — and the chairs returning to Memorial Union’s terrace can only mean one thing — spring has sprung in Madison and patio season is upon us. Let us forget about the snow we had a few weeks ago and plan out some time to dine in the sunshine with this comprehensive list of Madison “streateries!” From brunch plans to happy hours and late night specials we’ve got all of your plans covered.</span></p>
  386. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The term “</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">streatery</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">” first launched in Madison during the Summer of 2020, allowing restaurants, taverns and other eligible businesses to expand their seating outdoors, according to the <a href="https://www.cityofmadison.com/dpced/economicdevelopment/documents/Madison%20Streatery%20Program%20and%20Guidelines%206-16-20(1).pdf">City of Madison</a>. First implemented to allow for social distancing and to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, streateries quickly became loved by Madisonians and are here to stay during the warm months.</span></p>
  387. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">First, restaurants on the square. With a phenomenal view of the State Capitol building, you cannot go amiss with any of these options.</span></p>
  388. <p><a href="http://marigoldkitchen.com/"><b>Marigold Kitchen</b></a></p>
  389. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you are lucky enough to beat the crowd and grab a table at </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Marigold Kitchen</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for a bright, filling brunch, I am envious of you. With their outdoor seating off of South Pinckney Street, you are guaranteed to leave full and happy. </span></p>
  390. <p><a href="https://www.ancoracafes.com/downtown/#"><b>Ancora Cafe + Bakery</b></a></p>
  391. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With the return of the beloved </span><a href="https://badgerherald.com/news/madison/2024/04/09/dane-county-farmers-market-set-to-return-saturday-morning/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dane County Farmers’ Market</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on Saturday mornings, what better way to start your day than with a seasonal drink, pastry or a breakfast item from </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ancora’s</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">select menu. Featuring weekly special items, Ancora’s comforting breakfast food is best enjoyed with a view of the State Capitol in their inviting, outdoor patio space.</span></p>
  392. <p><a href="https://wonderstate.com/pages/madison-cafe"><b>Wonderstate Coffee</b></a></p>
  393. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Perched perfectly on the corner of Main Street is </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wonderstate Coffee</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. An additional great coffee option whether you are attending the Dane County Farmers’ Market or looking for a weekday pick me up. Settle into one of their patio chairs facing the Capitol for a breathtaking view. </span></p>
  394. <p><a href="https://www.merchantmadison.com/"><b>Merchant</b></a></p>
  395. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Not feeling breakfast food? Head over to Merchant Madison off of East Doty and South Pinckney Street for a plethora of options, ranging from their all-day Sunday brunch menu, Tuesday date night and happy hours. Enjoy your company outdoors on their patio or indoors, with a view of their “</span><a href="https://www.merchantmadison.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">preeminent</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">” cocktail bar. </span></p>
  396. <p><a href="https://www.settledownmadison.com/"><b>Settle Down Tavern</b></a></p>
  397. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Home of the Good Idea Burger</span>” <span style="font-weight: 400;">and sister restaurant with Merchant Madison, there are several weekly specials, including happy hour from 2–6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, Wednesday bingo nights and late night meals on Saturdays from 10 p.m. to close. Grab a reservation for their outdoor cafe seating or a table under the sky in their enclosed atrium.</span></p>

You love it, and I love it. The quintessential start to spring and patio season is when State Street Brats opens its patio doors. </span></p>

  466. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Madison Police Department held a press conference Thursday to discuss safety and staffing plans ahead of the Mifflin Street Block Party on April 28.</span></p>
  467. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During the press conference, MPD Central District Captain Michael Hanson said the department will follow the same footprint as last year’s event, with over 150 police officers present and drones to monitor safety.</span></p>
  468. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“For months, we begin planning for this event and copious amounts of resources are available to make sure it is a safe and, for the people attending, fun event,” Hanson said. </span></p>
  469. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Police will also monitor other, nearby college housing areas including Fahrenbrook Court and College Court, Hanson said.</span></p>
  470. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Students are encouraged to seek help from police if confronted with a dangerous situation. If underage students have been drinking and need help, the police will address health and safety concerns immediately, and underage drinking will be addressed later, according to Hanson.</span></p>
  471. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The last thing we want is somebody to be scared to talk to the police or worried to talk to the police if there is something that we need to be alerted to,” Hanson said.</span></p>
  472. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite assurance, students worry approaching the police due to the chance they could get in trouble for underage drinking.</span></p>
  473. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">University of Wisconsin student Anna Syltie said she may resist reaching out to the police knowing there could be repercussions.</span></p>

  501. <p>Though UW has a <a href="https://uwpd.wisc.edu/amnesty-through-responsible-actions/">Medical Amnesty Through Responsible Actions</a> program, amnesty only applies to citations handled by UWPD. The policy does not offer amnesty for violations handled by MPD, according to previous <a href="https://badgerherald.com/news/2023/12/05/drug-misuse-prevention-specialist-student-conduct-associate-director-discuss-medical-amnesty/#:~:text=The%20Medical%20Amnesty%20Through%20Responsible%20Actions%20policy%20specifically%20removes%20violations,according%20to%20the%20policy%20website.">reporting</a> from The Badger Herald.</p>
  502. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During the press conference, Director of City of Madison Building Inspection Matt Tucker discussed the risk of overcrowding on balconies at the Mifflin Street Block Party. While building inspectors have gone to most houses on Mifflin Street to identify unsafe balconies and porches, the houses they did not inspect are being asked to rope off balconies.</span></p>
  503. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> The </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Madison Fire Department has also been notified of incomplete safety inspections to ensure those houses’ balconies are not occupied, according to Madison Fire Marshal Bill Sullivan.</span></p>
  504. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We’ll make sure that they follow through and those decks and balconies are not occupied,” Sullivan said. “We will be out there with MPD to make sure that housing and decks are not overcrowded.”</span></p>
  505. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Residents on Mifflin Street were informed of porch and balcony policies during move-in, UW sophomore and Mifflin Street resident Bella Gonzales said. Gonzales confirmed a building inspector checked their property to ensure there was no damage.</span></p>
  506. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Police have been informing residents they will be responsible for crowds and damage to the property, Gonzales said. With this knowledge, Gonzales and her roommates plan to have someone stay at the house and monitor crowds when they leave. They have also established other plans in case someone does enter their house.</span></p>
  507. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We&#8217;re putting all our valuables into our extra room and locking the extra room, so just in case there is any random person we don&#8217;t know in our house,” Gonzales said.</span></p>

  532. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The City of Madison approved an update to their zoning guidelines which will allow property owners to construct accessory dwelling units alongside a building with up to eight units, according an April 17 <a href="https://www.cityofmadison.com/news/2024-04-17/common-council-votes-to-approve-more-housing-options-for-residents">press release</a>.</span></p>
  533. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The previous guidelines only allowed owners to construct accessory dwelling units on single-family homes, City of Madison Zoning Administrator Katie Bannon said. The idea was raised with the intent to expand the number of accessory dwelling units throughout the city, Bannon said.</span></p>
  534. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Since 2012 about 32 [accessory dwelling units] have been built or are currently under construction within the city,” Bannon said. “The idea was expanding this to … see more property owners take advantage of the opportunity to add one more dwelling unit.”</span></p>
  535. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Accessory dwelling units allow homeowners to make money off of their unused property and the units can contribute to a smaller carbon footprint since they require fewer resources to build and maintain, according to </span><a href="https://www.aarp.org/livable-communities/housing/info-2019/adus-are-good-for-people-and-places.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">AARP</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>

  562. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The units have a maximum size of 900 square feet and up to five unrelated people can live in one unit — making them a viable option for college students, Bannon said.</span></p>
  563. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The new zoning guidelines will also eliminate the requirement that the building owner must occupy the property, Bannon said. Previously, residents could not leave the property while also renting out an accessory dwelling unit, she said.</span></p>
  564. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“An example could be in some of the near campus neighborhoods where you have a professor living alongside an accessory dwelling unit,” Bannon said. “That professor couldn’t leave for sabbatical at any time and still rent out the accessory dwelling.”</span></p>
  565. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">More property owners may build accessory dwelling units in the future if the owners take advantage of constructing detached units, Bannon said. These units do not have to meet commercial building codes — like adding fire sprinklers — which can significantly increase the cost of construction of a unit, she said.</span></p>
  566. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The City of Madison hopes property owners will take advantage of the increased opportunity to build any type of accessory dwelling unit, Bannon said.</span></p>
  567. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“They [accessory dwelling units] can be attached to the existing building or detached, but, either way, it’s another way to add a little bit of density with an existing neighborhood,” Bannon said.</span></p>

  596. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The scholarship has four opportunities with four different focus areas — Academic Achievement, Bridge to Success, BPC Changemaker and Organizational Excellence, according to the Instagram post.</span></p>
  597. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The scholarship was created to reward and encourage Black excellence here on our campus,” BPC Managing Officer Jonah Dixon said. “We saw a need to give back to our campus specifically and we felt like a scholarship would be just a great way to keep people motivated, keep people going and acknowledge the hard work that Black students are already doing on our campus.”</span></p>
  598. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The hope with the scholarships is to help as many students as possible, according to BPC Chief Officer Jekiah Manor. The BPC is focused on helping Black students succeed at the university, so scholarship awards are intended to support students in a variety of ways.</span></p>

  625. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Black students face <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-racial-wealth-gap-financial-aid-and-college-access/#FN1">disproportionate financial barriers</a>, which can make expenses for things like food and personal maintenance challenging, according to Manor. The goal of the BPC by creating the scholarships is to give Black students the full-time student experience their non-Black counterparts have.</span></p>
  626. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“A big saying in our Black community is that it takes a village to actually succeed and grow in this life — and specifically in the environment that we have here at UW–Madison,” Dixon said. “I mean, it&#8217;s not too many people that look like us, and through the BPC, I personally think that this is where we can unite Black people and support them throughout the whole journey.”</span></p>
  627. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The scholarships are being funded using money that has been donated to the BPC, according to Manor. The <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe6_pjl17vkNGvb4xOHNAljHD19O3lwAnVmsARHMk65wKEZCA/viewform">application</a> deadline is May 1 at 11:59 p.m.</span></p>
  628. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We’re hoping eventually we’ll be able to expand and offer more financial assistance to Black students and Black student organizations,” Manor said. “Our idea behind it is seeking to fill the gaps in financial need that other scholarships and other grant applications don’t cover.”</span></p>
