Madison, Wis. — The Universities of Wisconsin Board of Regents scheduled a Tuesday meeting to vote on whether to fire system President Jay Rothman after asking him to resign; Rothman sent two letters refusing to resign without an explanation and has led the 165,000-student system since 2022. The board set a closed-session termination vote this week; Regent President Amy Bogost said the board had engaged Rothman with a performance review and feedback on leadership expectations, and the outcome could prompt an immediate leadership transition and further administrative actions for the system.
