Joseph F. Kauffman, former UW-Madison dean of student affairs, one of the architects of the Peace Corps and an influential educator, died Friday in Middleton at age 84 after a battle with cancer.
“Joe Kauffman will be remembered as one of the great contributors to the success of this university,” said Chancellor John D. Wiley. “He trained many of the university’s top leaders during his long association with the campus. His legacy is alive and well across UW-Madison.”
