‘Polarizing’ Chancellor at U. of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Quits After Hit-and-Run Incident

Linda Bunnell, chancellor of the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point, resigned today following a hit-and-run incident that occurred after she had bought three alcoholic drinks, the Associated Press reported.

In mid-February, Ms. Bunnell hit a parked car with her state-owned vehicle, then drove off. She later acknowledged that she had purchased a cocktail and two glasses of wine at a club in Madison, Wis., before the accident, but â??she had time to drink only one of the three and was not tipsy at the time of the crash,â? according to local news reports.
