Fundamental changes made to the Wisconsin Idea in the University of Wisconsin System's mission statement were the result of a "drafting error."

Despite deliberate actions, Scott Walker calls change to university mission a "drafting error"

This excerpt from Gov. Scott Walker's 2015-'17 budget reframes the mission of the University of System, essentially removing the Wisconsin Idea, a guiding principle of the system that emphasizes service to state government and citizens.
Emails reviewed by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel show Walker's budget office requested sweeping changes to the Wisconsin Idea that later became part of his budget.

Echoing other national media, U.S. News & World Report declared Feb. 3, 2015 that Gov. Scott Walker was having a better two-week run than any 2016 presidential hopeful.

The very next day, Walker got caught in a political firestorm back home.........
