Melany Stinson Newby, top lawyer to three University of Wisconsin-Madison chancellors, will depart at the end of the month.
Stephen Lund, associate director of human resources, confirmed this morning that Newby submitted her resignation on Thursday in order to retire on July 31. Her last day of work will be May 31, and she will be on unpaid leave until her retirement, said Amy Toburen, a university spokeswoman.
Charles Hoornstra, an assistant attorney general, will replace her on an interim basis.
