Judge: Report on UW-Stevens Point professorâ??s misconduct must be made public (AP)

MADISON (AP) – A report detailing misconduct that prompted the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point to remove the chair of its biology department must be made public under the stateâ??s open records law, a judge ruled Wednesday.

Dane County Judge Richard Niess rejected a lawsuit by professor Robert Bell seeking to keep secret the reasons the university stripped him of his duties as department chair in March.
