Wis. chancellors oppose plan to split UW System

Thirteen University of Wisconsin chancellors asked state lawmakers Wednesday to support a new plan that would give all their schools more autonomy but wouldn?t spin off UW-Madison from the rest of the UW System. The chancellors asked legislators in a letter to consider a six-pillar proposal called the Wisconsin Idea Partnership. UW-Madison Chancellor Biddy Martin said it would be difficult to comment on the chancellors? plan until more specifics were released.
