Prof. Jeremi Suri was recently named one of America’s brightest young minds by the Smithsonian Institute and has recently published Henry Kissinger and the American Century with Harvard University Press. He also sits on the UW-Madison Athletic Board, where he has become a voice of dissent.
At a board meeting last Friday, Suri confronted UW Law Prof. Walter Dickey, chairman of the board, over a letter Dickey signed along with athletic director Barry Alvarez and Chancellor John Wiley which appeared to stake out the university’s position on the network and its bargaining stalemate with cable providers.
