Kevin I applaud your column in the Northwestern this morning http://www.thenorthwestern.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070924/OSH06/709240413/1189.
When this scandal first surfaced via the Milw JS we were all treated to this official comment from the university:
“Nonetheless, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article does raise some questions regarding costs to students who select the debit card service…. While recognizing that larger financial institutions typically offer a wider array of services and thus, may charge higher fees for some of those services, we will use this opportunity to review the fee policies associated with offering our students the best services for the best value.
In short, we will use this opportunity to continue to advocate for even better service at reduced costs for our students, faculty and staff.” Email from Tom Sonnleitner to university staff dated Monday June 18, 2007 in re: UW Oshkosh - U.S. Bank
Almost 4 months later, what has been done? One is tempted to think that the university has decided that as the university is getting paid by US Bank, it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks.

Several Dempsey and Reeve staff members met recently with US Bank staff. Seemingly no one is happy with the arrangement particularly as Dempsey feels they aren't getting the money promised. Some feel that the UW credit union looms too large on campus and prevents true competition.
