Anonymousabout 4 hours ago

The University of Wisconsin Board of Regents voted unanimously on April 7, 2026, to fire system President Jay Rothman after he refused to resign, ending a tumultuous four-year tenure marked by campus closures, DEI battles, and chronic underfunding. The dismissal — carried out in a 30-minute meeting with no public discussion — has ignited a political firestorm, with Republican lawmakers calling it a "partisan hatchet job" by Evers-appointed regents, while faculty unions say Rothman failed to listen to stakeholders.
