Madison… Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) released the following statement regarding the announcement of Chancellor Mnookin’s departure from UW Madison to Columbia University:

“I want to thank Chancellor Mnookin for her service to the University of Wisconsin-Madison and applaud her commitment to the students. Chancellor Mnookin had many great accomplishments during her tenure, such as bringing more free speech to campus and closing its division of DEI.

I wish her nothing but the best and I know that Columbia University will be in great hands with her at the helm.”
