"President Rothman was not without notice, nor was this process sudden. The Board has engaged with President Rothman in good-faith discussions over the past several months."
"Rothman has been under pressure to resign, but he refused to do so and went public last week with the board's campaign to get rid of him."
Jay Rothman was terminated as president of the University of Wisconsin system after a unanimous vote by the regents. He faced pressure to resign but refused, claiming he was not given a reason for the board's actions. His tenure was marked by campus closures, enrollment challenges, and political tensions. The board did not publicly discuss the reasons for his firing or the appointment of an interim leader. Chris Patton will serve as acting executive-in-charge until a new president is appointed.
