Paul Barrows agrees to $135K settlement (AP)

MADISON — A former University of Wisconsin-Madison vice chancellor forced to resign after he was accused of sexual harassment will receive a $135,000 payment in return for dropping several legal claims against the university, according to a settlement made public Friday.

The UW System Board of Regents and Paul Barrows agreed to the settlement earlier this week, ending a messy case that had rocked the state’s flagship university and forced the regents to review their personnel policies.
