UW Board of Regents to meet Tuesday on firing UW system president

The UW Board of Regents appears poised to fire the Universities of Wisconsin president, after a dayslong standoff between the top leader and the board.

The Regents will convene virtually at 5 p.m. Tuesday, enter a closed session to discuss President Jay Rothman’s termination, and then may reconvene in public session, according to the meeting notice published Monday afternoon.
