More Autonomy for U. of Wisconsin Campuses

The University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents has unanimously approved policy changes that will give more autonomy and authority to individual campus leaders. The system will have less power on issues including the creation of new programs and auditing. The move follows a lengthy debate over governance in Wisconsin, set off by proposals (which failed to advance) to give autonomy to the flagship Madison campus. The proposal that was approved applies to all campuses.
