Proposed UW-Madison shake-up prompts opposition

Some UW-Madison faculty members are opposing a plan that would shake up the universityâ??s internal structure by creating a new office to oversee research. A resolution from the sociology department will be presented at Mondayâ??s Faculty Senate meeting, alleging that the proposed reorganization has been presented without a detailed written plan or proper consideration of its implications. The plan from Provost Paul DeLuca would put oversight of research under a new vice chancellor, rather than where they’re currently housed in the graduate school.
