MADISON, Wis. (AP) — New University of Wisconsin-Madison Chancellor Biddy Martin is moving to put her stamp on the school, remaking the administration with an eye toward improving communication.
Two months after she succeeded John Wiley, Martin is moving to replace two Wiley aides with staff members of her own and to create a new high-profile communications post.
Leaving the chancellor’s office will be Casey Nagy, who played a key role in running the state’s flagship university during Wiley’s seven-year tenure. Nagy, a lawyer, was Wiley’s chief of staff and involved in many of the most sensitive decisions on personnel and other matters.
Also leaving her job, the school confirmed Wednesday, is Wiley assistant Deb Lauder.
