Governor Tony Evers is announcing three new appointees to the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents after one regent refused to step down.
Last week, GOP-appointed regent Robert Atwell said he would stay on the board past his term until a successor was appointed and confirmed. “The Daily Cardinal” says on Friday Evers appointed three new regents to fill the vacancies created by the expiration of three GOP-appointed regents whose terms ended on May 1st, including Atwell’s.
