After months of controversy concerning her leadership, the embattled chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point will step down May 31, officials announced Thursday.
Linda Bunnell, who was appointed chancellor in 2004, became the public focus of attention after she failed to report an accident in her state vehicle in February. Community anger over the incident brought to the surface a long-simmering battle among Bunnell, the UW-Stevens Point Foundation and some of the school’s major donors.
