MADISON, Wis. — University of Wisconsin-Madison Chancellor John Wiley is stepping down in less than two weeks and he has a message for the state.
He’s taking lawmakers and the state’s largest business organization to task for creating a political environment he calls toxic. Wiley lays out his arguments in an article in the September issue of Madison Magazine.
The column was written as a follow-up to one five years ago, which sounded the alarm about the state’s economic health and its effect on education. He’s ramping up that concern and taking a stand against what he said is bringing Wisconsin down, WISC-TV reported.
