UW Eau Claire election day incident
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WLAX/WEUX) – Some students at UW-Eau Claire are speaking out after an incident on campus. UW Eau Claire College Republicans shared a video on their Facebook page, showing the aftermath of the incident and the offending party walking away. The chair of the group says at 8:30 am, they had a table set up in support of Brad Schimel for Supreme Court. They claim a faculty member at the university approached the table and flipped it after a brief interaction. Interim Provost Michael Carney says, '(I'm) deeply concerned that our students' peaceful effort to share information on campus on Election Day was disrupted.'
He added that the faculty member has been placed on administrative leave while the Universities of Wisconsin and the Office of General Counsel investigates.
