Regents reject new Barrows probe

University of Wisconsin Regent President David Walsh said the Board of Regents will not appoint a new investigator in the Paul Barrows matter.

Walsh wrote a testy reply to an angry letter from three lawmakers on Wednesday. The lawmakers were upset because UW President Kevin Reilly told a reporter that UW-Madison Chancellor John Wiley informed him early on about his plans to demote Barrows, the former vice chancellor for student affairs.
