Milwaukee area legislators and the Milwaukee mayor are questioning a plan by UW-Madison for a University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health — saying that Milwaukee is the obvious location for a public health school.
The University of Wisconsin Board of Regents is scheduled to vote on the proposal this week, but four legislators have asked for a delay.
UW-Madison Provost Peter Spear says the matter to be considered by the regents Thursday and Friday is simply a name change, reflecting programs that have already been established.
