UW-Madison faculty, staff and students continued to scrutinize Provost Paul DeLucaâ??s graduate school restructuring proposal at his fifth and final town hall meeting Friday, while Chancellor Biddy Martin offered several reassurances.
The proposal would decouple the schoolâ??s current structureâ??where Martin Cadwallader acts as both dean of the graduate school and vice chancellor of research. According to supporters, it would increase UWâ??s influence within federal grant agencies and address increasingly complex financial and safety regulations required for federal grants management.
