This news out of the University of Wisconsin, former governor and interim UW System President Tommy Thompson announced today he will step down from his post in March. Thompson was brought on as president in the middle of the pandemic and after a failed search to replace the retiring Ray Cross. In his announcement, Thompson said the UW Board of Regents will soon be announcing a final candidate to replace him and as a disclosure, PBS Wisconsin is a service of UW-Madison.
