UW System President Ray Cross on Board of Regents Education Committee approval of UW-Madison tenure policies

“The UW-Madison faculty tenure policies and procedures approved today by the Board of Regents Education Committee protect the principles of academic freedom and sustain the University’s standing in a competitive, global marketplace for faculty expertise. I appreciate the efforts of Chancellor Blank, Provost Mangelsdorf and the UW-Madison faculty in helping develop a policy that comports with the Board of Regents policy and state statutes.”
