Wisconsin Gov. Evers Fires UW Regent, Citing Altercation With Staff
MADISON — In Madison, Dane County, Wisconsin, Gov. Tony Evers announced on the evening of November 13 that he had fired University of Wisconsin System Regent Timothy Nixon, effective immediately. The governor's office said Evers acted after receiving reports that the regent allegedly had an altercation with staff providing support for an official UW meeting.
"It is my expectation that UW Regents I appoint behave themselves with decency and decorum, and that they treat people with dignity and respect at all times. Unfortunately, today, a regent failed to uphold that basic standard," Evers said.
Evers, whose term ends in January, said he intends to allow incoming Gov.-elect David Crowley to appoint a replacement to serve the remainder of the term, which ends in May 2031.
