UW-Madison students pressed the finalists for Universities of Wisconsin president on immigration enforcement on campuses and divesting from companies with ties to the Israeli military at a public forum Tuesday.
The three finalists addressed both issues during separate, hourlong appearances to pitch their visions for the top job overseeing the 13-university system with about 165,000 students.
The search for a new Universities of Wisconsin president “could not be happening at a worse time” and should be delayed until a new governor and lawmakers take office in January, former Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson said in a letter to the UW Board of Regents.
University of Wisconsin-Madison campus heard from the three finalists in the race for Universities of Wisconsin System President Tuesday morning. The finalists spoke on ideas ranging from Diversity, Equity and Inclusion to Artificial Intelligence to Immigration, Customs and Enforcement on campus.
