UWM chancellor dumps official residence for pricey condo

In an unprecedented move, Chancellor Carlos Santiago is moving from the official residence that comes with the top post at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and into one of Milwaukee’s priciest condominium buildings.

Santiago said in an interview Thursday that he and his wife, a professor at UWM, had purchased a condo in Kilbourn Tower, where the average unit costs $900,000. He said they would move in after commencement.

“My wife said it’s time to move out of public housing,” he said.
