The president of the University of Wisconsin System released on Friday the first official numbers on back-up appointments – a university perk that has inspired much controversy this summer, saying the release was part of an ongoing commitment to university transparency. Nearly 80% of university administrators – 1,092 employees – have been guaranteed fallback jobs should they decide to step down from their current jobs, according to data compiled by the system. Many work at UW-Madison.
