UW athletics: Personnel changes shake up Athletic Board

Two major personnel changes have altered the makeup of the University of Wisconsin Athletic Board heading into the new school year. Law School professor Walter Dickey stepped down as chairman of the body that oversees the UW Athletic Department to step across the administrative aisle to work for UW athletic director Barry Alvarez. Dr. Dale Bjorling, a professor in the UW School of Veterinary Medicine, was appointed the new chair by interim chancellor David Ward, who was acting on a recommendation from the university committee.
